Did he ever race a Lotus 5000?

In the 1972 Tasman David ran every race, (8 rounds) driving a self entered (as David Hobbs London) M22 McLaren Chevy. He won the final round of the year at Adelaide, and took 5th in the Tasman Championship that year.
He did not appear in any of the 1970 or 1971 or 1973 races.
