MOTORING PLUS: The Lotus 12

Clive Chapman's Classic Team Lotus has been seen in the prestigious car company's Piccadilly showroom in form of his father's first ever Formula One car, the diminutive 1958 Lotus 12.  The hope is that for the future the 49 will be put on show, complete with wing, the advanced 72, and the turbine type 56.  Or you can visit the splendid Team Lotus museum, opposite the now Chinese-owned company factory at Hethel, Norfolk.

Jim Jones,

I saw the car in Piccadilly last week. The young sales representative knew just a little but the requirement is for a large board telling about the car (which was not a success but a great step forward) and moving on to the Lotus 16 and then 18 the privately entered Stirling Moss 1960 first ever GP win.
