1962 Lotus 25

I took this photograph at the Donington Park Museum in October 1989.

It's a 1962 Lotus 25 with a 1,496cc V8 Coventry Climax FWMV engine. The Lotus 25 was raced by Jim Clark in the 1962 season but its initial unreliability leading to retirement in four of the races meant that he could only finish in second place to Graham Hill's BRM in that season's World Drivers' Championship. He won the Championship the following year though and finished in third place in 1964 driving the Lotus 25 in the early part of the season before switching to the Lotus 33 for the second half of the season.
