I photographed this car at the Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb August 18th 2012. The link will take to a full range of images of the car.
Ian Walker Racing Lotus Elan 26R: This is the unique alloy bodied 26R constructed for the 1964 Le Mans race, by Ian Walker Racing . It was first displayed at the 1964 Racing Car Show , shake down races included a win with Jackie Stewart in the 1000 K race at the Nurburgring. One week before Le Mans, the car suffered an accident driven by Mike Spence keeping it from starting the event. The car has been raced throughout its life and has now been restored and driven by Martin Stretton.
