  • 1962 Lotus 24 BRM Chassis No. 946
    ! 1962 Lotus 24 BRM Chassis No. 946 • Immaculately presented following an exquisite restoration by marque expert Peter Denty Racing. Limited mileage has been accumulated since, with notable outings in the Glover Trophy at the last three editions of the Goodwood Revival. • Following a convincing Pole position at Brands Hatch this year with the HGPCA, this 1,500cc BRM V8 powered Lotus 24 led away from the start in the recent Glover Trophy race and featured strongly before finishing 3rd against stiff competition. • With 2015 FIA HTPs, this Lotus 24 will make an excellent entry to one of the most emotive grids in historic motorsport, racing on some of the best circuits across Europe. By 1962, Lotus had made a strong name for themselves in the world of Formula 1, and were becoming a force to be reckoned with. This came about with Colin Chapman’s Lotus 18 of 1960, which marked a change in formula car design. The low and sleek 18 was the first Lotus to feature a mid mounted engine instead of the traditional front mounted layout as in the Lotus 16 which went before, and subsequently gains were found in chassis design, weight and stiffness. Initially the new Lotus 18 ran with a 2,497cc Coventry Climax FPF four cylinder engine and the so called ‘Lotus Queerbox’ magnesium cased sequential transaxle which further contributed to the weight advantage that the Lotus 18 held. Success was yielded in its debut season with two World Championship victories for Rob Walker Racing and Stirling Moss. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E.

There was a colossal entry for the two races prior to the South African Grand Prix of 1962.

So popular were they that there was not enough room for everyone who entered and so the organisers ruled that there would be a qualifying time. At Kyalami it was 1 min 45 sees. THE RAND GRAND PRIX: (15th December, 1962) The entrants for the Rand Grand Prix included the usual Lotus and BRM teams as well as others from England. There were also Coopers, other older Lotuses, a Lola and specials of South African build like the LDS, the Assegai and the Netuar. However, by far the most unusual Clark led all the way and won the race itself, followed closely by entrant was the much modified 1958 Lotus Seven Series One of Cape Taylor, Surtees and Hocking with the Seven finishing in a respectable Towner.

  • Dale Lafollette's Vintage Motorphoto
    Dale LaFollette’s Vintage MOTORPHOTO Summer 2002 Most of the photos in this catalog are single images only, meaning that I have only one of them and I do not own the negatives. I do not sell copy photos unless they are of a really rare subject and then this fact is mentioned in the description. Most photos by known photographers have the photographer's stamp on the reverse and many have writing on them in the form of a description and\or cropping notes. No claims are made for photo authorship unless I have conclusive proof, therefore many of the photos listed under ANONYMOUS could very well have been taken by well known photographers. It is probable that most photos were the only one, or one of few printed from the negative. All photos are black and white unless "color" in mentioned. All photos are printed on fiber based paper unless RC to denote "resin coated" is in the description (see legend). None of the photos listed are mounted permanently (unless specifically noted) so you will be free to use or display them as you wish. These photos are being sold as collector's items, many may be copyrighted so you would reproduce them at your own risk. AUTOGRAPHED means that the person pictured has signed the photo or described article, SIGNED means signed by the photographer. To understand the dimensioning system PLEASE NOTE THE LEGEND BELOW!! LEGEND: ZZ= 12 x 16; XX=11 x 14; AA = 9.5 X 12; A = 8 X 10; B = 6.5 X 8.5; C = 5 X 7 RC =RESIN COATED PAPER PL = PRINTED LATER, ALL PHOTOS NOT MARKED PL ARE CONSIDERED VINTAGE.
