Der Wagen von Russell hiess glaub ich Lotus 43-Ford Special R1.
Ich kenne den 43er eigentlich auch nur mit BRM Motoren.
Habe im "The Lotus Book" noch was gefunden: The 43 was carried over for the first race of the 1967 season in South Africa. A second chassis was constructed, for Graham Hill who joined Jim Clark at Team Lotus. Clark raced chassis 43/2 but dit not finish after a catalouge of problems, including overheating and a throttle malfunction. Hill managed to bend his car's front suspension, which led to a holed oil pipe. This was the last official outing for the 43, but the two cars were sold on and fitted with Ford V8 engines in special tubular steel frames for use in Formula 5000. Jock Russell bought 43/1 and fitted a 4.7-litre Ford with Gurney heads, while 43/2 went to Robs Lamplough, who installed an FAV-built 4.7-litre engine.
Im Buch hat's noch ein Foto vom Jock Russel-Auto, hab aber leider keinen Scanner
