Lotus Eleven #150

I am looking for pictures and/or information on my grandfather, Ralph Miller. From what I have found he was in the Lotus eleven #150, or #153 depending on what you read. He was killed in an accident before I was born and we really don't have anything on him on my side of the family.

Any info or pics would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you have found these sites yet.

I went to the Motorsport Memorial  website to find further details, such as where the accident occurred, and they have no record of Ralph Miller being killed in a Lotus Eleven.  They do list a Ralph A Miller but say he was killed driving a Zink .

The Racing Sports Cars site also lists Ralph A Miller and lists him racing several cars including Lotus XI #150, Lotus XI unidentified and a Zink Mk 3, which suggests he is the right man.  Unfortunately they do not have photos of either car - or in fact of any car driven by him.

Martin Krejki's WSRP site lists Ralph Miller driving Lotus XI #150 at Sebring in 1956.

So, it looks as if your grandfather raced Lotus XI #150 and might also have raced #153 but was killed in a Zink rather than athe Lotus XI.

Thanks for the help guys. I have been able to locate the current owner of the car. It's alive and well in Austin Texas. It's amazing the people you meet in the racing community.

Thanks again!
