I read on line that both Chris Summers and Peter Hawtin were killed racing their V8 beasts, I tried hard to, but his nibs upstairs was looking down on me! I look longingly at the only photo I have of my old Lotus 24-Ford 289 V8 sitting on the grid at Oulton Park, great days and good to be around to remember them.

I'm a rookie aswell. I heard that you sold your Lotus 24 to Peter Hawtin, who's background I'm researching.
I know he passed away in 1971 and your sale was before that but can you remember where he was living at the time?
I'm trying to trace his family, he had a sister and know of a nephew called James Smith. Peter had an interesting background.
Any help would be appreciated.
