1957 Lotus Eleven Series 2 Le Mans, a piece of Classic Lotus History

This car was restored between 1982/5 and for the last 22 years has been raced in the UK and Europe. I have had great fun on circuits such as Brands Hatch, Donington, Mallory Park, Oulton Park, Silverstone, Snetterton and Thruxton. In Europe the car has raced at Spa, Nogaro, Nurburgring and LeMans.

Enjoy learning of my involvement with these fabulous Colin Chapman/Frank Costin designed and built cars, one in which the legendary Stirling Moss and Team Lotus achieved 143 miles in an hour at Monza - an amazing record!

Many other driver such as Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori, Mike Hawthorne and Alan Stacey all drove Lotus Elevens.

The Historic Lotus Register have helped with much of the history, their site is also very useful.

Please explore this site and send me your car details - I'd be very interested to receive your comments and include your car: john@m4design.co.uk

What a super meeting this is! Without doubt, one of the very best in the ‘Club' calendar. The mix of cars is always excellent and each race is in the true spirit of a sporting event.
