This was one of the entrants in the HSCC Historic Formula Ford race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.
It's Paul Stringer's 1968 Lotus 51B designed to run in the Formula Ford class of racing. Formula Ford was a first step onto the motor racing ladder, using a mildly tuned 1600cc Ford Cortina GT engine and ordinary road tyres that would prove less expensive than the existing Formula Junior and Formula 3 classes. About 218 of the cars were produced and this one is chassis #51B/FF/139.
