A very special Lotus Type 72 fired up, over 50 years on

A special moment at Hethel, as Kevin Smith and colleagues fire-up 72/5, for the first time since Emerson’s Zandvoort shunt in 1973. Extraordinary to consider DFV130 sending its vibrations through the tub again, after all these years. A big step towards getting Emerson’s favourite 72 back-on-track.
