Hi folks,i,am wondering if anyone car help me?.I have a 1974 Lotus elite which used to be Ronnie petersons Lotus demo,i was wondering if anyone has any knowledge,photos etc about this car??i have 2 pictures of Ronnie with the car,one standing in front of it(numberplate clearly visable)and another with colin chapman handing Ronnie the keys whilst Ronnie is sitting in it,a third photo my father has just found in a formula 1 book which covers 1974,this shows a picture of Ronnie seated in the car with Jacky ickx as a passenger,it mentions the British grand prix,this was held on 20/7/74,the elite was registered on 1/7/74,so i think Ronnie might of drove the Elite to the grand prix himself,so do any other pics survive,my father has owned the car for over 10 years now and has always been interested in finding out more about its early days,so if anyone can help please let me know,its yellow and has a factory plate on it.
