If you are a fan of F1...you may have heard of Peter Windsor.

Here's a picture of his mom at the Norfolk facility in March of 67. Seems he wanted to get a Europa, but came home with an Elan instead.

He was provided a very early Renault powered S1 for a test hop. Love the tail lamps!

Hello Lou,

thank you so much for posting this!
A while ago, I stumbled across an article, with photographs, of a visitor (with his parents) to Hethel and I could not find it (I knew that it had photographs of an early Europa!)

Peter Windsor writes about it here along with photos of the Lotus factory when it was just being built:
