jjdeeley should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Bill Hill;Rotorvic Lotus 23 and Rotorvic Engineering

Does anyone know anything of someone called Bill Hill who raced a Lotus XI in sports racing car meetings in 1962 (15 July at Snetterton, The Senior Service Trophy and on 22 July at Brands) entered by Rotorvic Engineering, of Hertfordshire (possibly from near somewhere called Cuffley). His name appears as "W Hill" in the race programmes and he may have been the owner of Rotorvic Engineering.

In 1964/1965, Bill Hill drove a Lotus 23 with a special V12 Air cooled, two stroke engine made up from 6 Ariel Arrow motorbike engines (this is the engine that was on display for years in the Donington Collection). There is a record of the car competing at Brands on 31 October 1965.

Any details of the whereabouts of or any contact details for Bill Hill would be gratefully received. Also if anyone has any information on any race meetings that they saw the car run in or, even better, any photos of the Rotorvic Lotus 23 car, please get in touch.

I am restoring the engine and the car, with a view to it firing it up for the first time in nearly 40 years and there are many unknown aspects of the car, including its race history and its apparently unique bodywork.

Many thanks.
