Yes. Though not exactly new.....its taken 20 years to gather the parts together to restore a very mucked about special, with a genuine GP chassis, to its former glory....

Watched some of the action on TV this lunch time.
Even a '959' looking 911 in the game in the Classic section.

I'm oddly drawn to Europa's (Renault engine ones), but now pricey, about £30K restored, about the same value as my 911.

I think you can boil in one in the summer..

A rare car - even by Lotus 47 standards - being one of only ~ half a dozen 47F models built.

It's quick too - in race trim it utilises a Cosworth 1.6 FVA pushing out ~ 260bhp in a car that weighs ~ 600kg (some DDKers might have seen it racing at Spa in the past).

The owner uses it on the road too - fitted with a 175bhp twin cam engine ...
