Elevens may be the connection on this list: I have 1955 Lotus Eleven S1 LM
chassis #150/153, the first Eleven built. (see articles by Victor Thomas,
founder of "Historic Lotus Register", in the HLR newsletter and in "Lotus
World" magazine. It is complete and mostly original but it needs a complete
sympathetic restoration . . .I have owned it for over 20 years.
