Steven Hunker, a Lotus enthusiast from Beaverton, Oregon was recently in the UK and got to go on a tour of the Classic Team Lotus workshops. He’s been kind enough to share some of the images he took on the trip with us.

The original drawings for the Type 27 done by Colin Chapman himself! (see his initial ACBC)
