The Kitchner Lotus 47GT |
This automobile started out as
a 47 (reputedly one of the prototypes) SN P5-P15-R1. Sometime in the early 70's it
was purchased
by Tony Kitchner Race Developments, and underwent extensive modifications, including a Lotus
40 engine and drive train, TR-4 hubs, and a (!) sunroof (gone). With a 289 K Code
Ford pumping out 280 BHP. it's
performance as reported in Motoring News was
"breathtaking". At some point, the car sold to a buyer
in here in the States who crashed it. When I bought it in 1972, it was represented
as the 47GT prototype driven by John Miles, but I haven't been
able to verify that. |
