1960 Lotus 18

This car competed in the HGPCA Pre-66 Grand Prix Cars race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.
It's Michael Schryver's 1960 Lotus 18 with a 4-cylinder 2,495cc Coventry Climax FPF engine. At Monaco in the last season of the 2½ litre Formula in 1960 Stirling Moss in the Rob Walker Racing Team's Lotus 18 gave Lotus their first Grand Prix victory, and also won the United States Grand Prix later that year. In 1961, the first year of the 1½ litre Formula, Stirling Moss repeated his win at Monaco in the Rob Walker car and also won the German Grand Prix.
