HIBBERD GOES BACK TO HIS ROOTS IN REBUILT LOTUS
Twenty years after he first raced the car as a 16-year-old, Andrew Hibberd has been reunited with the Formula Junior Lotus 20 in which he started his racing career.
Originally raced by motorbike racer and TT winner Reg Armstrong from Dublin, the Lotus 20 was later raced by Irishman Brian Cullen. In the early 2000s, it was owned by the Hibberd family and raced by Andrew before being sold and more recently badly damaged in Germany.
The Hibberds then bought it back as a project and have rebuilt it to immaculate condition. The rebuild was finished in time for Andrew to win the Formula Junior race at the Goodwood Revival in September.
Andrew and his father Michael also have a famous ex-works
Lotus 20, which was raced in period by Bob Anderson who, like Armstrong, was also originally a motorbike TT winner.
