On this day in 1982...Colin Chapman passes away at the age of 54

(1/1)

LotusJoe:
Colin Chapman passed away after suffering a massive heart attack, at his home in East Anglia, at the age of 54.

EuropaTC:
It's strange how time alters your perception of events. When that happened I thought "oh, but he's getting on I suppose". Now I read your post and think "wow, he was young wasn't he ?".....

Edit to add - I don't know if this will work, but here's the man himself in 1970 with some footage of the factory & the Europa S2 at the end.
