1957 Lotus Eleven Sebring Colin Chapman Project

Description:

Lotus Eleven #276 was raced at Sebring in 1957 by Colin Chapman and Joe Sheppard where it won its class and came in 11th overall.

In 1958 Joe Sheppard lent the car to a friend where it was raced as #58 and in an accident that damaged the nose.  A new nose was supplied by William and Pritchard. 

It was completely dismantled in the 70's and stored in a heated garage where it remains today. Only three owners. Everything is there to put the car back together again.  Serious amount of documentation accompanies the project. I am heading to Michigan in early December to document the car (with the help of the Lotus Historians) and can assist in packing and shipping.
