Jim Clark first single seater drive.
LAT photography show a picture of Jim Clark in a Lotus formula junior Boxing Day 1959, titled his 1st single seater drive. My understanding was his first drive was that day but in a Chequered Flag Gemini. So who is right?

Having looked at the picture - reference number is 8479B/24 - the car is very obviously not a Lotus 18. For one thing it's not rear-engined ...
 However, it's definitely Clark. And definitely a Gemini! |

Surely Jimmy's first single seater drive was the Edington Mains tractor - probably a Ferguson
