I took the photograph of this car on the approach to Waterway corner at Aintree during practice for the British Grand Prix in July 1962.
It's Tony Shelly driving John Dalton's 1961 Lotus 18/21 in which he qualified in 18th place on the grid, but retired with an overheating engine after six laps of the race. Tony Shelly was a New Zealander who came to Europe in the 1962 season and was reasonably successful in non-championship events but was entered for only three of that season's Grand Prix races, and after this British Grand Prix appearance failed to qualify for the German and Italian Grands Prix.
