Lotus 102 Formula One Car – A Legendary Restoration Milestone at GBS....

This stunning Lotus 102 Formula One racing car has been an exciting and challenging long-term project in the GBS workshop, and many of you will have spotted it during visits or at our events. As an iconic piece of motorsport history, every stage of the restoration has been carried out with meticulous care, engineering expertise and passion.

We’re thrilled to share a major milestone in the journey so far:
Following further inspection and setup work, we started the engine again and then took the car to Northampton Motorsport for Rolling Road testing, where more progress was made.
The sound? Electrifying. “Loud” doesn’t even begin to describe the raw, powerful roar of this legendary machine coming back to life. Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do.

The Lotus 102 will remain with us as we continue fine-tuning and preparing it for an exciting schedule of events planned for the future. This remarkable car has a bright road ahead, and we can’t wait to see it back on the track where it belongs.

Stay tuned for more updates and behind-the-scenes insights as we continue this incredible restoration journey. Click here to visit our GBS YouTube channel to watch a video of Richard talking through the car and to hear that engine!
