Lotus 6. 1952. Nice aluminum work, too.

Back in 2006 I was given a book called Racing and Sports Car Chassis
Design.

I have that book. I got it for Christmas in 1963, I think.



Correction: Where I said "Chapman," read "Champion." Colin Chapman was
the founder of Lotus Cars. Ron Champion is the Locost guy. I had Lotus
on the brain.
The genuine Lotus 7. Colin Chapman's ultimate "add lightness"
exrecise. Good friend of mine has all the jigs and has built or
rebuilt more 7s in North America than Chapman. Lots of "originals" are
original serial number tags on a Wolf built chassis.

If it wasn't so hard to insure and register a non-original 7 in
Ontario, I'd have one!!!!
