 The car pictured was originaly a formula c and was the second(only 2 built) Mk10 car built by Lyle. The car first had a Cosworth SCA engine. The second owner (Larry Walters) installed a 1100cc Lotus twin cam. Some time in the mid 70's Phill Simons installed wings and a 1600cc Lotus Twin cam and raced it as a formula B. The car set in storage for many years and was restored buy Ken Mot who installed a new Lotus Twin cam and raced it in the pacific northwest in vintage racing. The car was sold to Fritz Hamns in the midwest and he raced it untill 2004. I bought the car in May 2006 and had it brought back to the Seattle area. It is in my shop being prepaired for the 2007 SOVERN vintage season. Greg Lovell
