Correct White, well done, points are yours, made famous by one Mrs Peel.
Chapman was a real innovator, that was one of the very first 'product placements' seen on TV. (the' 7 'on the prisoner soon after).
For me though, It was more memorable for its dominance on the race track in the hands of legendary F1 world champions
Jim Clarke and Graham Hill etc.
It was of course made and sold to finance the Lotus's F1 team's programme,(before big sponsorship arrived) so it has real
racing DNA.(e g- less than 700kg kerbside weight etc. etc..........)
Cheers
