Vanwall revival (GKN 47D)

From the hi-res request thread

[QUOTE=faksta;804787]Woah!!! I've found a jewel, for me at least. Does anyone have this Vanwall revival project? May be in low-res as well, just any pics - this is the only one I have and can't find any other. See bottom left car on the attached picture.[/QUOTE]

Ok, so it's not what you are searching for, but well I guess it's a start. It's the #48 chasis Lotus Type 47 (Europa) specially developed by GKN with a Rover V8 under the bonnet. Firstly a 3.5-litre and later a 4.4-litre with around 290bhp.

On this particular car was the 1990's redesign based for the Vanwall revival.

More pictures.

Ferrer, you're a man! Thanks! Though no photos of a finished car still :p

damn, I couldn't manage to find anything !
