Chassis:
One of three Lotus Esprits built to GT1 specification, chassis 002 was raced throughout the 1996 season. It is understood to have been raced to second at Silverstone and fifth at Spa. At the end of the year, it was retired from contemporary racing. Its next task was altogether less ceremonious as it served as a spare parts bin for one of the other cars. The car was fortunately saved by a Lotus enthusiast in the early 2010s. Since then, he has been busy gathering parts and slowly restoring the car to its former glory. Still in non running condition, it was shown at the 2017 Goodwood Members' Meeting and the 2013 Dix Mille Tours.
