Alternatively between now and No.133 Lotus Cars will generally come to your help.

The "54" was the Series 2 Europa with various tweaks (over the 46) including a plusher interior and (thankfully to all restorers and repairers) a body that was bolted to the chassis rather than glued…

56kgs - the weight of Moto-Guzzi's 500cc racing motorcycle engine in 1955.

500cc, water cooled, four stroke twin cam . No less than a V8 fed by 8 Dellortos. Good for 170mph at Spa.

A bit like the BRM V-16, sounded fabulous and more powerful than all its rivals but too complex to become a reliable front runner.

My great uncle Cecil had a couple and took me and my two cousins out for Sunday drives, we'd be sliding around on the back seat as he took the bends wink
