INDEX OF PERFORMANCE

Post by bobwhittaker »

On Sunday 24 July I attended a show , with my Eleven , organised by The Ripon Old Car Club on Ripon Race Course .
Another exhibitor came to talk and he turned out to be a friend of Mr. Keith Hall , now 86 years old , who was one
of the drivers when the team of 750cc engined Lotus XI cars won The Index of Performance at Le Mans . I had a
very interesting half hour hearing about the preparations for the race and the build up of the cars en route to Le Mans .

On my way off the site I had to disallusion a spectator who was walking alongside wanting to know " The history and
provenance of my " Lotus XI " when I told him " It hasn't got any , it is a copy ".
