Amazing..... I would have loved to have taken that car for a few laps!
 
Hell, they changed it from a right hand drive cockpit to a left hand drive, and forgot to take the dash binnacle over !
 
In that same era Lotus raced their 56B with a Pratt and Whitney turbine. Was not very successful in F1 due to throttle lag out of corners. The Lotus 56 Indy car almost won in 1968. Ovals much more suited a turbine due to more constant speeds.
