Now this is a clean MK1 Lotus Twin Cam.. something we know a little about! :)

Well done to the owner for such a stunning example

Tiff Needell and The Stig, Ben Collins, standing with one of our fastest RS500's which has been fast and reliable for many years. I bet Tiff would be surprised just how much better these modern Bayjoo 500bhp+ cars drive and perform than the old BTCC cars did back in the day! Mega!
