LOTUS MAKES RACE DEBUT

Regular historic racer Richard Postins gave a Lotus 11 what is believed to be its first-ever race outing at last weekend’s Donington Historic Festival in the Stirling Moss Trophy. The 1957 Series One 11 was the car shown at the 1958 Geneva Motor Show. “It’s had one owner for over 50 years and was never used in competition,” said Postins. “It’s super-original so we are starting from standard and it’s a total road car at the moment.”
