Lotus 47

I spotted this car amongst other Lotuses at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

It's a Lotus 47 from the late 1960s, and should have a 1,590cc Ford Cosworth Twin-cam engine. There's no record of the exact number of these cars that were built, but it's estimated to be around 60.

This car competed in the R Cressey & Sons Ltd Trophy Race - which was a round of the HSCC 2 litre Championship - at the HSCC's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.

It's Michael Schryver's 1967 Lotus 47, with a 1.6 litre (probably Ford Cosworth) engine. The car was based on the Lotus Europa with the more powerful Cosworth engine fitted in place of the Europa's Renault unit.
