The Historic Lotus Register keeps records of most Lotus cars other than the "production" road cars which usually have their own supporters' club. Links to those clubs are included below. HLR Car records are held by the Registrars who specialize in their model (or models) of Lotus, and should be consulted before purchase or restoration. In the table below, click on the small photograph to the left to be transferred to the page of the specialist Registrar. The specialist clubs may keep similar records, so it is well worth asking them. Owners of ALL Lotus cars, irrespective of model, are most welcome to join the HLR, as are those without a Lotus who are interested in the cars, the company, and the history behind them. See the Membership page to join. Note: After the Lotus Mk X the cars had "Type" numbers in Arabic numerals and were referred to by their number only, usually written out in full e.g.
1967 Lotus 49 Cosworth - Images, Specifications and Information. More than any time before or since, Grand Prix racing was revolutionized in the 1960s. There was little resemblance between the front-engined Ferrari 246 Dino that won the 1960 Monza Grand Prix and the winged and sponsored Formula 1 cars used in 1969. Colin Chapman's Lotus was frequently at the source of these revolutions. A major catalyst for the rapid development was the switch to a displacement limit of 1.5 litres for the 1961. With less power available, there was much more emphasis on the chassis and suspension design. After just five years the regulations were changed once more with the displacement hiked to three litres. Not surprisingly Chapman was on the look out for a new engine for 1967, but he struggled to find one.
Dubbed the DFV (Double Four Valve), the new engine was completely cast from aluminium in the Cosworth factory. The car itself was an evolution of the 43 with the monocoque chassis housing three fuel cells. Grand Prix Cars - Maserati 250F. Maserati, founded by four brothers name Alfieri, Bindo, Ettore and Ernesto had been involved in motor racing since 1926. Based in Bologna they fought Bugatti, and Alfa Romeo for supremacy in Grand Prix Racing. In 1934 there world and that of racing in general was turned upside down with the entry of the German teams, Auto Union and Mercedes. Unable to compete on equal terms with the better financed Germans they found refuge in 1.5 litre Voiturette racing and Indianapolis. Their business was based on selling customer race cars and in order to promote their cars they had to win. Voiturette racing was very popular and Maserati was able to sell a number of cars. Following the end of the War racing resumed and with the absence of the German teams the way was cleared for the return to Grand Prix racing by Maserati.
In 1950 a World Championship for drivers was introduced. The top cars built for the new Formula would all be sans supercharger. 8W - What? History Motor Sport. Welcome to Who? What? Where? When? Why?

Author Don Capps Date June 9, 2006 Related articles Maserati 250F - Classic Red, the Maserati 250F series, by Don Capps Why? It is difficult to imagine that there is much left to be said about the Maserati 250F. David McKinney was able to draw upon his own extensive knowledge of motor racing and the comprehensive files he had built up over the years when he sat down to write the story of the 250F.
When the scholarship and research of McKinney and Hobkirk is combined, it changes the way in which we may view what we think we know about these cars. As long as there have been racing cars, each has had some form of unique identity. The car that may have played a role in changing all this was the car that was simply known as "Fangio’s Maserati.
