Okay, Lotus Engineering plates must be the very earliest right?
I think I've seen old ads where Chapman was selling a used
MarkVIII and the company was Lotus Engineering. This is
Hornsey?
So then they move to Cheshunt and we have Lotus Cars and Lotus
Components.
I'll just take a wild guess (and hope to be corrected) that
Lotus Racing shows up a bit earlier, around the 12 or 16
when Chapman began to race outside England?
And you've stumped me again. What vintage would a plain Lotus be?
