Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum.:001_smile:

Have you tried Clive Chapman at Classic Team Lotus?

I know they have blueprints for a fair few Lotus racing cars.

The only other place I can think of is Pete Lovely Motorsports in California.

I believe Pete Lovely has sold his 49 now, but he owned one (ex.Jim Clark) that he bought from Colin Chapman, and raced it continuously for 40 odd years.:heyjoe67_lotus:

Heres the link to Classic Team Lotus

Pete Lovely was an American privateer racer, he journied across Europe with his 49 on the back of his VW Transporter. Here is a pic of his setup (contrasting with the Gold Leaf Team Lotus Transporter)
