Classic Team Lotus is delighted to have licensed Amalgam to manufacture this stunning reproduction of the Lotus 97T, the car that powered Ayrton Senna, arguably the fastest driver of his era, to his first Grand Prix win in almost monsoon conditions at Estoril in 1985.

Amalgam was given unrestricted access to the original design drawings within the Classic Team Lotus archive, and made a detailed inspection of the actual car, 97T/2, that resides within the Classic Collection in original and running condition. The result is a fantastic model of the beautiful Gerard Ducarouge design, resplendent in its JPS livery.

As we have one on proud display in the office we know the model impresses everyone that sees it. Production is limited to 199 units so we expect it to be a good investment as well. The model is sold complete with a carbon fibre base and an impressive acrylic case measuring 660mm x 330mm x 220mm.

Classic Team Lotus thought it would be nice to 'personalise' each model it sells. It occurred to us we could provide a small piece of original 97T bodywork from the Classic Team Lotus stores. Therefore every model will be sold with a section of carbon bodywork dimensions 80mm x 30mm, sized to fit in between the presentation plaques at the front of the model.
