Car 25 - Lotus 11?
Don got in touch from the US recently, with a query about this framed picture that he rescued from being thrown in the bin. Initially he thought it was a Jaguar, but I'm certain that its a Lotus, probably a Lotus Eleven. The next question to answer is: what is the story behind this Lotus driver casually leaning against his car, tucking into a bowl of Kelloggs Corn Flakes while talking to the other chap? and who exactly is it shown in the photograph?
I'm grateful to Don for photographing this framed picture and emailing it over. Top marks for not letting it end up in the bin too! it'd be great to try and shed some light on this picture, and the relationship between the Lotus, the driver, and the Corn Flakes! was it a promotional thing, perhaps just for the US market? or was this used to promote the product in the UK and other countries too? all information welcome on this one, just drop me an email if you can help sort this one out!
