One more 47, at the time was located in Cincy Ohio. Is now in GTL livery, like so many others.

That's the only 47 I have seen with bumpers and BTW, they made more than one lHD 47 according to the registry.

Thanks for the correction --- that was what the owner told me at the time.
Current pics of the blue one show it without bumpers, I wondered about that myself.

My apologies for being OT.
After viewing the 47 registry, it's too bad that a similar site doesn't exist for the 26R. Some of the documentation and race history is quite interesting.
I realise that discrepancies would occur, but some history is better than none.

I took these in 1995 at Monterey, there was a lot of interesting Lotus Cars there that year. I think 3 of the type under discussion here.

Nickel's car was very nice, I have a big poster of it on my garage wall.

Gil's car had a twin cam in it that sounded like no other I ever heard. The speed at which it spun-up was un-real and the sound, a bit different as well. That car was evil fast and I have heard first hand account how that thing would get up and walk away from cars that it should not have on long straights were and elan typically does not excel....
