  • 1966 Lotus Cortina Classic Rally Car PRICE £60,000
    1966 Lotus Cortina Classic Rally Car PRICE £60,000 ABOUT THIS CAR IDEAL FOR USE ON: Monte Carlo Historique, Le Jog, Rally of the Tests, Classic Marathon, The Scottish Malts, Lombard Rally Bath, Rally Round Africa Rally Preparation Services is pleased to offer this absolutely superb LHD 1966 Lotus Cortina resplendent in Ermine White and the signature Sherwood Green stripe. Most petrol heads know the tales of Jim Clark’s exploits in the glorious Lotus Cortina but why did Ford treat us to this legend. Research Ford cars in the early ‘60s and you will soon find that Ford had a worthy but dull model range. The exciting new Cortina was coming soon though but even that had old fashioned mechanicals. There is however an adage in the motor industry, first attributed to Harvey Firestone (as in Firestone tyres) “Win on Sunday – sell on Monday”. The Ford management in Dearborn remembered the phrase and charged Walter Hayes from within their own PR team to develop a motorsport program in the UK. Walter called Colin Chapman at Lotus; it was the obvious thing to do. Lotus had already developed the Twin-Cam derivative of the Ford Kent engine for the Lotus Elite mated to a Ford gearbox. It would all easily fit into the new Cortina, so it wasn’t long before the “Consul Cortina developed by Lotus” was in production. Ford soon abandoned the Consul moniker but always referred to the car as the Cortina Lotus. In fact, trimmed body shells were dispatched from Dagenham to the tiny Lotus factory where final assembly took place and not surprisingly, we all know the car as the Lotus Cortina.

With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

  • Design Anal Sis of the Lotus Seven S4 (T Pe
    15/11/11 Design Analsis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Tpe 60) Conneions You are here: Home » Content » Design Analysis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Type 60) Design Analsis of the Lotus Seven S4 (Tpe 60) Module b: Andrew R. Barron. The design target of the Lotus Seven S4 (Type 60) was to aimed at meeting several requirements: Lower cost of production, in particular the chassis and the hand beaten aluminum panels. Reduce the time of manufacture from the 12 hours for the Series 3. Find a market to a wider owner base with improved driver comfort and weather protection. Compete with sports cars from major manufacturers, such as MG Midget and Triumph Spitfire Provide a first step on the ladder of Lotus ownership. Take advantage of the 1970s “beach buggy” craze. The success of the design of the Seven S4, and the choice of various components, should be considered with regard to these goals. As such the S4 was a rather clever piece of design that largely overcame the cost problems of the Seven S3. Chassis and bod Although the Peter Lucas designed chassis of the Type 60 Seven S4 is basically a tubular frame design, it is significantly simplified as compared to the proceeding Seven models. Using steel square upper and lower side tubes with triangulation and cross members with square steel tubes, the main chassis was simple in design (Figure 1 (#id3640890) ). A rear frame was made from round tubular steel. The upper rear chassis doubled as the attachment point for the fuel tank, the seat belts, and the body to the chassis.

  • 1 for Its Fifth Participation at Retromobile, Ascott Collection Will
    For its fifth participation at Retromobile, Ascott Collection will be presenting a selection of historic racing cars. The Formula 1 car of John Surtees and Mike Hailwood, two world motorsport champions. John Surtees was greatly attached to the SURTESS TS9B # 5, keeping it right up until 1999. This historic F1 car made a name for itself in the streets of Monaco, where it regularly finished among the leaders of the 1966 -1972 editions of the Monaco Grand Prix Historique. The Chevron B16 # 4. No doubt one of the finest prototypes of the 70's. Ascott Collection is proud to have the privilege of offering for sale chassis No. 4, a B16 that is widely known for its authenticity and its history, with participations in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 to its credit: in short, a car that has now acquired considerable rarity value.... Now that historic races have incorporated a new generation of racing cars, Ascott Collection will be exhibiting a 2009 ORECA FLM09 at the Historic Sportscar Racing stand. The HSR hosts a series of historic races on the other side of the Atlantic, including one of the world's finest historic races, the HSR Classic 24 Hours of Daytona. With Lister having relaunched the production of a new series of only 10 Lister Knobblys, Ascott Collection will be offering for sale N° 7, which is ready to race, in its magnificent livery... The gorgeous 1988 MARCH BUICK 86G MOMO will be presented. Bought, sponsored and extensively raced in 1988 by Gianpiero Moretti, the owner of MOMO, it is the most developed MARCH BUICK 86G from the IMSA GTP period.
