Thank you for your information. The chassis clearly isn't a 22, as we have established, but now having had opportunity to go through the large paperwork files which came with the car, correspondence exists between the former owner and Lotus dating back to 1978, in which both parties refer to the car as a type 31, and make reference to either a Cosworth MAE engine, or a Holbay R35 engine. I also know now he purchased it from JRRS at Snetterton.
Might I direct you to a new topic.....
