About The Driver
Vice Chairman or Chairman of the Lotus Drivers Club during the 80’s and early 90’s. Also ran a Lotus restoration business ‘Excalibre Engineering’ on a part time basis. This ceased in 1994 as I became too busy working on my +2 and also tired of long cold nights in the garage! Hillclimbing and Sprinting is just right for me as I get too tired driving competitively for much over a minute |

Hillclimb / Racing Experience
Of life – too much. Have competed in the PMS Championship virtually since its inception in the early 90’s |

Previous Cars
Only previous Lotus was an Elan S3 S/E built in June 1967 (LJB618E) from a kit bought from Mike Spence’s garage in Reading. Kept it for 3 years and sold it after rolling it and somewhat losing confidence. Rebuilt by Bell and Colvill I sold it for £950. Oh dear! |
