This may be the car you are speaking of:
American Mk1. Circa 1971 Pranged at Donnybrook and not raced again to my knowledge.
I had a 712 and a 722.
On the 712 even with the underpowered Lotus twin cam (relative to the F2 engines), the joints were good for a weekend. (The twin cam was built by Gus Hutchinson which made it a very good twin cam compared to the English built units.)
The 722's inboard brakes used to cook the CV boots and joints so they would fail in 2 weekends.
Quite expensive cars to run both in dollars and preparation time in any case.
But great sport to drive. |
