Lovely to see the Graham Hill +2 back in circulation. I went to the auction at Brooklands when it was sold and ran a mile! Well done for bringing it back to life, there was an awful lot of work to do.
My +2 started life as the company car of Lotus Cars Managing Director Richard Morley, whom I am in regular contact with and he has driven the car a couple of years ago. Its really nice to have a car with a provenance. Mine featured in several promotional photographs while he was running it. Can you picture the one outside Chapman's front door and pillared porch in the rain? I wonder if it leaked through the door cards even then!

If Hills car was chassis #50/0418 as stated above it would have been fitted with Lucas rear lights - only the first 177 cars had the Carello units.
