A few more racing Lotuses

For a number of years (no longer) there were Historic Races at North Island Naval Air Station, on the runways. I worked as a track helper for about 10 years and saw lots of nice Lotus race cars.















This one year we saw a bunch of Lotus and Caterham Sevens. I swore one day I would own a Seven. Little did I know that years later I would have the "Prisoner" car on the left.



My wife is uncertain ...










Here I am (years later) and its my car now. But I eventually sold it, in 2000.



These are from the Lotus Classic Collection, in Norwich by the Lotus Factory








Clive Chapman (Colin's son) explaining this car to us.
