Very sad night for me. I stayed up to 1:30am to watch the Bonhams auction and see the Lotus 49 be sold. I first saw that chassis as a spotty schoolboy in1969 when I wagged school and jumped the fence for the Friday practice at the Warwick Farm Tasman race. Little did I realise that 45 years later I would be fiddling with it.
I was however pleased to hear the auctioneer congratulate a "racer' for buying it so one hopes it will continue to get an airing rather than sit in a museum.
