Popular Post ChrisJ Posted January 8 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 8 Rather than (or as well as) adding these into the general "model name" Picture & Video Threads - which tend to be current images (which we all love), I thought that we should have a period pictures thread for those images captured on film back in the day, so should have a grainy quality all of there own. I'll start with this from 1988 (any guesses as to where?) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite 4.9 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Jimmy smoked'em with Fords purpose built injected, 4 valve, gear timing with 11 gears and Chapman's beautiful Indy racer. Jimmy skipped the Monaco GP to race the 500 with this Lotus 38 Indy racer and what a beauty Colin and Ford put together that year including using the Wood brothers as their pit crew from American stock car fame. I remember the day. Jimmy really only lost the lead to pit and gas up. Not even close! Jimmy and Lotus also won the world F1 title again that year as Jimmy was unbeatable in his Lotus 33. Them were the days !!! great picture, cheers, Richard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Range Rover was and is a timeless design imho. Just like many Lotus. 1 Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them.
