Correction to my quote above for the record. Peterson took HNG 669L around Silverstone (not Brand Hatch). The occasion was a JPS promotion day for the Press. The JPS prototype +2 was also at the event. HNG didn't go to Gold Seal Sportscars to be sold on.

The car with Chapman is HNG 669L which featured in a few road test reports and Ronnie Peterson took it around Brands Hatch. Motor where they recorded a 0.60 in 6.6 secs. The car finished up with Gold Seal Sports Cars, New Cross London before it was sold on.

New to this forum but not to Lotus. I've owned them since 1976 and I currently own the three 'Big Valve' classics plus an S2 Exige. I'm attaching a photo of my +2 taken at Castle Combe in May where Club Lotus were celebrating the 50th anniversary of this model. I had the car repainted and trimmed by the Lotus Service Garage in 1982. Colin Chapman had a good look round the car before I took it away. Jim, London
