Re: Black Lotus Badges Yet Again

To say what many are thinking "Oh lord, here we go again"
I have picked on this post deliberately to show what happens and the rubbish which follows.
This is not Graham Hill's Lotus 49 from 67. Gold Leaf paint job did not appear until after the 8 South African GP at the start of January 68. No 49 had wings in 67. Clark btw only drove Tasman 49s in GLTL colours. The wings are not even from 68 and are probably taken from a 72 in 1970. Nearest is Fittipaldi Brands in 1970, R8. Rindt doesn't even have that rear wing for Monaco in 70. Hill drove Rob Walker's R7 at Brands in 1970.
So here we have a flawed presentation of a car with plaque in front of it which will now become a tablet of stone for future posters who believe every thing that anyone puts up with flawed information.
2 questions.
What are Colin C and Denny Hulme discussing in Eion Young's article? Can't imagine that Hulme ever spent a long time discussing anything with Chapman.
And the starter for 10. Where is the photo in the first post taken? Year and track will suffice.
