1977 Lotus Esprit race car Peter Harhodt

HI  I am hoping that someone could help me  I purchased this car late last year  The car was built by ex Chevron mechanics as I've been told   Peter said he bought the car through an ad in he thinks the June issue 1982  The suspension has been said to be from 1976 March F1  The car was built for FIA Group 5  I don't know of the race history in Europe  I know what happened when the car came to the US but don;'t know of anything in Europe  Peter said he bought the car out of York from he thought someone by the name of Cliffe  Any help would be appreciated
