Hi there

A very good friend of mine gave me a number of Motor from 1971 in which there was an article regarding the Lotus 56B Turbine car. Must unfortunately I have somehow manage to misplaced it :( . I have now been looking for nearly two weeks. But it's not to bee found.

I would be very happy if I could receive a little help regarding this matter. And help me with a copy or a scan of this article.

I don't recall the exact number. But the magazine has Fittipaldi and Chapman on the front cover. Emerson is sitting in the Turbine car. I believe it a March issue.

Thank You

Christian

Hi Christian,

Unfortunately I can not help you.
But as I am doing a Lotus 56B 1/32 slot car at this moment, I would like very much to see this article.
So, if you finally succeed to get it, would you mind showing it on this thread ?
Good luck !
André Acker.

I can't help with the magazine but I recommend "Turbine Grand Prix" by Gerard Crombac which has masses of information about the 56 and 56B. The book is still readily available.
