I am reserching photos of Bedford CF "Lotus Cars" vans that were used in Hethel factory As you can see in the photos they used single and double wheel rear axles In fact one of them was used as a"test mule" for the Vauxhall engine used leter in the Lotus 62 The vans were yellow with green lettering Above is an interesting link about them https://bedfordcf2van.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html?fbclid=IwAR2AJPJzci8JupxK6278EajBF8UjrrVImTcslOMDUFLqQ1ezRjoAF6n_cCw

Interesting ESSEX Esprit footage in this video. Also at the end during a test at Paul Ricard I spotted an odd red Esprit with black rear end....

Thanks for the info Leigh. It is really hard finding period photos of your car

Not sure Leigh if this one is a "period" photo of your car or an actual one

Missing opportunity to recreate the iconic Esprit one into a Elise...

As far as I know the JAH1L, was restored by Simon Hatfield and he still owns it. By the way...its seats came from a Lotus Europa Special
