Chassis:
Chassis R4 was the fourth Lotus 49 produced, which was prepared for the 1968 opening Grand Prix at Kyalami, South Africa for Jim Clark. He used it to score his final Formula 1 victory. The car was subsequently sold to Rob Walker, who readied it for the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch for Jo Siffert. Sadly the car was destroyed in a garage fire after Siffert crashed the car in practice. In 1998 the car was reconstructed by Hall and Fowler for the current owner.
It was raced at Goodwood in 1999 by Jackie Oliver, who unfortunately had contact with Jack Brabham, who was racing one of his old cars. The car was rebuilt again and campaigned extensively in the FORCE series for historic Formula 1 cars. It is seen here at 2007 Goodwood Revival where the 40th anniversary of the Cosworth DFV engine was celebrated and later in the year at the Essen Motorshow.
