    Vanwall revival (GKN 47D)

    From the hi-res request thread

    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.

    Info on a car
    Restoration info

    Seems like Vanwall was destroyed to make it back into a Lotus Europa
