The unique gas turbine powered F1 Lotus type 56B ran at Hethel recently, for the first time since 1971.
Emerson Fittipaldi raced 56B/1 in the 1971 Italian GP, since when she has remained in the Classic Team Lotus collection.
Together with his team mates, lead mechanic Lewis Cullington has completed a three year restoration project.
The principle of the restoration has been to present her exactly as she was when Emerson got out of her at Monza, 50 years ago, blistered paintwork around the brakes included.
The Hethel shakedown was trouble-free and we are looking forward to giving the Goodwood paddock canopies a blast.
