Dear slotracing-friends,

here is my Lotus 18, the 1960 Monaco-winning car of Stirling Moss. body by Penelope Pitlane, chassis Sm1S by PP., too.

It is race-ready, only the tires have yet to be prepared. (Sorry, I was to unpatient, wanted to show you the car...)












I hope, you like it...

VBR, Taffy

Hi, DJ,

no, you are not wrong - I am!

You´re right, in 1960 the #28 was the winning car, in 1961 it was the #20. Thank you for your correction!

Thank you for your comments!

That´s why I love this forum - you ever get good additions to your topic! I like the Michael Turner-pictures very much, and so the historic facts! Welding near to gallons and gallons of fuel, brrr!

VBR, Taffy

Oh no, Mark, what did you do? In the video one can see, that the car had a start number on the motor cover! I had no picture to show that! So I have to work again to complete my car....

Thank you for your additions! great stuff!

Well, you are responsible for the following update ;-)

I have added the starting number at the rear motor cover and I have changed the gear box by a self made "Colotti" box.


@Barry: yes, you are right, the colour looks too bright. Indeed, the Rob Walker blue is a real dark blue. But the true colour of my car is darker than the photo shows. It isn´t the Walker blue, but I think, it is near to it.

VBR, Taffy
