Story hasn't progressed yet but recently Adrian Krzyzewski posted a couple of photos of the car - one from Dunedin in 1961 and the other when he purchased it in 2022.
Adrian is seeking more photos of the car he purchased from the Dawes family - and its time with Bob Dawes who had passed away.
Bob Dawes raced the car with the Sports Car Enthusiasts Club based in Palmerston North and mainly raced at Manfield - the SCEC. He competed with people like Austin Healey guy Jim Reece in a Mark 3 Sprite and others.
The Dunedin phioto - it is part of a sequence that is on a movie / video of the Dunedin 1961 Le Mans start Sports Car Race.
a similar photo I have seen was from Jim Bennett - on the Dunedin thread which showed the Bennet brothers Ivan and Cliff in their Morgan cars.
One of the Bennett Morgan's can be seen as well as the AH 100S of E ( Joss ) Tims
The car when Bob Dawes owned it - racing at Manfield - part of a series of photos of the cars in Jim Reece archives
The car when being collected by Adrian Krzyzewski in 2022 - his own archives
If anyone has photos of the car under Bob Dawes ownership - please let me know by PM or post on here.
The Story of the this Lotus will be continued in the near future.
Cheers
Roger
