It is well known that Tony Vandervell purchased Lotus 18 chassis 901 in 1960 and installed his 4-cylinder Vanwall V254 in its engine bay.  The car was entered for the Lombank Trophy at Snetterton on 17 September 1960 for Tony Brooks but failed to start due to a stretched valve during practice.  Has anyone ever seen/own/know of photographs of this Lotus-Vanwall?

There's a link to a very fuzzy photo of the car on this page on the 6th Gear site:
