Ding, ding, ding!!!  We have a WINNAH!  (Pretty much...)

My list was:

1) It's Chapman, not Lotus
2) He didn't die in '63
3) Elan was in production in '63
4) Europa was not on the drawing board in '63
5) No Mr. Caterham
5) No Mr. Westfield
6) No lawsuit in '63 (and wrong subject of the suit that DID happen)
7) Chapman wasn't the "designer/driver" (at least by '63 he wasn't driving 
them in competition)

Jay got all but #7, and gets extra credit for the approximate number of 
people building them...

I'd probably dispute the "$6500 in cylinder head and carb work" claim, too...
