Lotus 24

This car took part in the Pre '68 GP and Tasman Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996.

It's the 1962 Lotus 24 of Hall & Fowler and was driven in the race by Rick Hall. The Lotus 24 had a then standard spaceframe chassis and was intended as a customer car, while Team Lotus used the new monocoque Lotus 25. In effect, although Lotus team leader Jim Clark drove the Lotus 25 throughout the season his team mate Trevor Taylor mostly drove the Lotus 24. Both the 24 and 25 used the Coventry Climax FWMV 1,495cc V8 engine.

On 11 September 2016 I showed a couple of photographs of the Lotus 24, including one of Trevor Taylor's car in the paddock at the 1962 British Grand Prix at Aintree.
