Mario's Type 79 up for auction

Maybe we could have a whip round & buy it.

Surely Lotus or Classic Team Lotus could buy it?  Could not find mention of the seller.

That's only $454 per member and we're in!

What makes you think that CTL have got $10m burning a hole in their pockets??!?

However, I’m sure that Clive is very aware of the auction.

Despite what the article claims, Andretti in chassis #4 was demoted to 6th at Monza in 1978, due to a jump start. That ill-fated race was awarded to Lauda in a Brabham.

Zak Brown of McLaren fame has Andretti’s chassis #2.

When Paul Rego had one restored at Classic there was an event at Snetterton and Classic took along two more.

Not sure if Clive owns them already or maintains them for their owners.
