LOTUS ELAN BDA - Can you help?

[Andrew Kitson]

I'm looking for a photo of a Lotus Elan 2000ccBDA raced in the UK & "Trinidad" by Graham Goode in the late 70s/early 80s.
It will be part of a montage painting I am going to do for him but we can't find any photo reference.
Can anyone help? Much appreciated if you could.
Andrew.

Hi Ted
Thanks very much. I have his Elan only in one race programme I have here - the Euro F3 meeting at Donington on April 4/5 1981.
Car no.35 in the Motoring News Donington GT Championship. Red Lotus Elan 2000cc BDG - with large rear wing.

That should make an interesting painting- the two of his cars I particularly remember (the Elan's a little before my time)were a couple of his touring cars- the Listerine-liveried Sierra RS500, and the Group A Nissan Bluebird turbo- one of the lesser-known touring cars of the period, but as I recall fairly successful- (come to think of it, that Bluebird would have raced at the first meeting I ever went to....)

Yes, both of those will be included, also his 1000cc special saloon Anglia from '74, 3 litre Capri, Renault 5 turbo and a couple of Mk.I Escorts.

Andrew. All I can find atthe moment is a shot taken in the paddoock with the front removed.The chances of finding the negative are zero,as I purchased the collection in the form of 150 Albums and 2 large boxes full of un labelled films(a job for next winter)
