Lotus U K Launch at Knockhill

[Andrew C]

I can now confirm the U.K. Launch at Knockhill of The Jim Clark limited edition anniversary car (signatured), the Elise"25", in traditional Lotus livery - British racing green with yellow stripe, in recognition of Jim's 25 Formula 1 Grand Prix wins. This should all add up to a great weekend for Knockhill Lotus and Scottish Elise

"There is also going to be a Lotus unveiling on the Sunday, though my lips are sealed on this. I believe that it is going public on Monday."

I was sent the details of this last week, but it was a non disclosure agreement until it was officially announced.

Specification is:-

"Limited Edition Lotus Elise, based on the superb new 220bhp Supercharged Lotus Elise SC; only 25 will be built to commemorate with 40th anniversary of the passing of the great Jim Clark. To be launched at Knockhill Racing Circuit at the "Classic Speedfair" weekend on 7th/8th June. Jim's surviving relatives were consulted for their permission to use the name and signature of Jim Clark; all agreed that this would be an excellent tribute from the company for which he excelled.

Finished in classic non-metallic Racing Green with Yellow stripe, as per Jim's famous Type 25 Formula One car, the car has a bespoke interior in Red, and some classic touches including wooden gearknob, signature Jim Clark signwriting, and yellow grille surround. Unique wheels, extra specification and a great value package finish off what will become an instant classic."
