Great classic Lotus project.

Sold January, 2023

History

The Lotus 41 model cars were constructed from 1966-through 1968.  They were raced in Formula 2, Formula B, and Formula 3. The 41 was a tube frame car with welded stressed steel panels for structural rigidity and ease of repair.

The Lotus 41 was highly successful winning 55 races from 1966 through 1968. This success caused Lotus to nearly double their initial planned production number of Lotus 41s from 34 to 61. Ultimate Car Page

This Lotus 41 was rescued from the rafters after nearly 40 years. Last raced in the 80’s in Southern California.  The Lotus was discovered with an original nose and an 80’s type aero nose.

Description

The owner believes that the twin cam motor may not have been run since being built. He was also told that it was built by Brian Hart, but does not have further evidence of this.

A large crate of spares came with the car when it was found. The chassis plate is missing but the frame has the number R 41 21 B.

Wonderful Lotus project from the classic era of Formula Car racing.
