Description:

This car was the objective of a meticulous and complete restoration in 1993. Virtually every component on the car
was replaced with new. New items include a Peter Denty body, new wheels , tires, brakes, dampers,
all fasteners, hoses, loom, fuel cell, fire system, aircraft battery, seat cover, exhaust system,
and windscreen. All plated parts had the finish properly renewed. The engine has just been rebuilt and
has zero time, not even a test day. Finished in a dark BRG with a yellow stripe the car is cosmetically
perfect.


History

One of the earliest type 61's in the Lotus Formula Ford register, the present owner has not researched the
history of the car.
