Great sound track for photo #2. I bet it would sound even better as a stereo recording... :P

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Helping hands...Often overlooked, but make no doubt, the success to Team Lotus was the forgotten few who made it all possible.  ld

June 4Th 1967...49 years ago!

It seem fitting to remember that magic number as this weekend passes. We celebrate the debut of the 49's maiden victory and the Cosworth DFV in the hands Jim Clark and team Lotus at the Dutch Grand Prix.

There's something odd about R2's nose cowl these days. The aperture is the wrong shape, it's too square and spoils the line. IMO,  naturally!

Roger...Their may be something to your keen eye!...If I remember R2 was scuppered up in Monaco not too far back. Spare nose cone molds variations could be the answer. Here is another shot from 2014....ld

One of the first pictures of the 49...
Clark was living in Paris to avoid the tax laws and had to wait till the car arrived at Zandvoort.

I guess they waited to fit the mirrors, once he actually sat in the car.
