Very cool. Might have to scratch build that one in 1/18th. Or maybe the wheels are turning in Lance's head?

Certainly having the kit for reference would be helpful for your 1/18th scale build.
Then you could sell it off.

If you do it Lance, I am all over it.
Too bad this car did not race. Mario's disintegrated but I wonder what happened to the other team cars? Anyone know?

The latest information on the cars that I have dates back to 1996 and the book “Team Lotus: The Indianapolis Years” by the late Andrew Ferguson. This is the absolute bible for anyone interested in the Lotus Indy program.
Chassis 64/4 was written off in Mario’s crash.
Chassis 64/1 owned by Glen Waters in the UK
Chassis 64/2 owned by anonymous British collector
Chassis 64/3 owned by anonymous American collector.
Like I said, this info I’m sure is outdated, and I think we have seen at least one of these three cars in public sometime over the last few years.

Anonymous US collector? One was in the Barber museum when I was there a few years ago! Here are my pics: www.flickr.com/photos/vintagethunder/sets/72157631787955127/Obviously they also had one of the Lotus F1 4WD cars of the same year, although I might have seen something about one of them being sold. Great place BTW, and an expansion is on the way. The restoration shop is open 4 times a year. Try to go when it is open and demos are being done! Tom |

Tom, great pics. Thanks for sharing them with us. The bugs there seem to be rather large I found it interesting the Indy Lotus 4WD had vented discs and the F1 version had solid discs. The woman in the lake sculpture is now gone. The Spider's name is Charlotte. Tom |

The "Fire Pump Engine" is a Coventry Climax, which was the engine's original use. They had two of them.

The example in the museum photo appears to be a restoration which may have been limited in accessing apprpriate parts. Cheers |
