Nothing to do with David, but just for info the Lotus 70 Ford I know was used in the 1971 Tasman Series, the first round at Levin by David Oxton and in the 2nd round, the NZGP race at Pukekohe by Chris Amon.
The car was not at Wigram (Amon was in a March), and the car was not at Teretonga as Amon was on F1 duty in Buenos Aires.
Amon again drove the car in the 1971 rounds at Warwick Farm and Sandown before other committments forced him to scratch from the final round at Surfers, with John Cannon deputising at Surfers.
I am fairly sure the car was in STP colours.
