Would anyone know any history of the Centro-Sud car 20-J-909 (and I assume they had more than one Lotus 20 in period). I have records showing various Centro Sud Lots 20's being driven by several drivers including one Lorenzo Bandini none the less!
I have been told by the previous owner that the car was taken from Italy to the USA in the late 60's / early 70's by Lyle Heck, then sold on to a few US owners until it reached Joe Mirabille, then to myself.
Curiously, it lacks the flat strut / bracket behind the driver seat in front of the engine where a frame number would be stamped. I was told the car may have had a 1500cc crossflow at one point which can necessitate removal of that bracket / strut.
