Walter,
Great photos! That's quite a collection. Will you be adding descriptions to any of the Formula car photos to assist those of us that don't know our Lotus racing history? Are any of these cars still raced? Thanks for joining the VRL, and thanks for sharing your collection with us.

Mike,there's the white Lotus 102 from 1991 ex Mika Hakkinen that still has his engine and is complete for as far as I know.
The Castrol Lotus 107b is from 1992 and is a Show car so is does not hold an engine.
Then there's the Lotus 107c Mugen Honda that's also a showcar it was badly damaged at he 1994 starting crash ,the race that Ayrton got killed.
The Lotus 109 Mugen Honda is chassis nr 3 and is the very last Lotus F1 car that was build .
The car is complete but I can't find the original V10 Honda engine for it.
Lotus got the engines from Mugen Honda as a lease deal and they took all the engines from the cars at the very last race of 1994 at Adelaide.
The cars came back to England stripped from the engines.
I'm now in contact with people from Japan to try and get me an engine but it doesn't look good.
Then there's the JPS Lotus 94T Renault Turbo but that's a story for another time.
All the best ,
Walter
