Classic Formula 1 - The Lotus Type 49 with Clive Chapman son of Colin Chapman

  • 7 years ago
The Lotus 49 was a Formula One racing car designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe for the 1967 F1 season. I get to speak with Clive Chapman, the son of the designer of the Lotus 49 Colin Chapman and Managing director of Classic Team Lotus. There are only 7 examples of these cars and this was the first time all were under the same roof at Autosport International. This is an amazing insight into these cars which have so much history having been driven by the greats such as Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Mario Andretti, Jochen Rindt
