Thanks for posting the picture. Looks like new screen saver material to me.

What was your father driving?

Lotus Mk IX.

It raced at Le Mans 50 years ago (it was first Lotus to compete there).

Re: 1071 at Le Mans

I have a couple of static pictures of it too from the concours enclosure. I will try to post these up some time next week.

Would love to see the high res version of that pic above Ben.

Cheers,
John.
