1967 Lotus 49 Evocation
This 1967 Lotus 49 Evocation was professionally built by Stuart Taylor for “The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in 2015 and is track ready.
In 2014 Guy Ritchie directed the Warner Brothers movie “The man from U.N.C.L.E.” and needed a 1967 formula 1 race car for a scene at the Goodwood racing circuit. He turned to Stuart Taylor who built him a fully functioning recreation of an original Lotus 49 as driven by Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill. The car also appeared in white Honda Livery.
More recently the car has been used in track days and non-FIA Historic Racing. The car also received invitations for the pre-race program of the French Grand Prix and always draws a lot of attention from the audience.
The car is built from reliable and easy to maintain and readily available components and conforms to FIA safety standards, rollbar, tank, safety harness etc.

1965 Lotus Elan 26”R”
This 1965 Lotus Elan 26”R” has its FIA HTP until 2026. Like all Lotuses, the 26R values low weight over power. In this 26R specification, the Elan has a homologation weight of only 580 kgs
This example is a very early Series 2 and for that reason eligible for every pre-1965 event. It has been raced in Denmark for some years and was extensively rebuilt and prepared to 26R specifications by renowned Danish specialist TP Motorsport in 2016. Early 2021 the engine was completely rebuilt with the best parts and dyno-ed at 175 bhp.
This spectacular Lotus Elan is a very competitive device and eligible for all important events like the Peter Auto series, Masters Racing, Spa 6 hours, The International SuperSixties championship and many more.
This little gem could be your race weapon for the new season at a price well below the cost to build one. “I drive my Elan for pleasure – Not because I have to” (Jim Clark)

1979 MGB GT V8 “Sebring”
This 1979 MGB GT V8 “Sebring” is road registered in The Netherlands and is an all round fast road or rally car in immaculate condition with only 3600 kms.
This 1979 MGB started its life in the UK and was professionally built as a Sebring works car by a specialist. It was imported into The Netherlands in 2011 and only used for summer touring. The condition of the car is outstanding in all areas, and it is truly in “as new” condition all over. Extremely well maintained.
Unknown to many people, an Alloy Rover V8 is lighter than the original 4-cylinder engine with twice the power making for a very well handling, reliable and easy to drive car. An ideal affordable all-round historic high-performance car.
