I have an entry on 9th March 1969 at Mallory Park for one Charles Allen car is listed as a Lotus 24 .
I have never seen a 24 in Formula Ford spec did it actually race anywhere?
And what if anything is known of this car or driver ?

The first FF Dulon was apparently a converted Lotus 24.

Now back to being Alan Baillie's Lotus 24-BRM. (an ex Parnell chassis)

In the programme for the Townsend Thoresen round at Castle Combe 3 October 1970 is entered
Chris Groves, Lotus 24

so maybe there was one that changed hands

Perhaps someone got the burned out bits of Jack's car?

They certainly had time to rebuild it...
