There's a Lotus-SAAB listed on the H Modified entry list for 1964 American
Road Race of Champions
44 Leslie M. Gaylord Lotus Saab HM Aspen, Colo. Midwest
though for some reason I suspect this might not have been a 7; maybe an
11?
Wasn't there also a Lotus 11 - SAAB in the northeast at one time. I did a
Google search and came across an entry for Floyd Stone in such a car at
VIR in bygone days, but nothing in the way of details.
Regards
Greg Rickes
