Knowing the Suddard's affection for fine, vintage, collectable RV's, how could they possibly pass up this?

As slept in by Emerson Fittipaldi, Ronnie Peterson and Mario Andretti. A stick-on banner of "Classic Motorsports" or maybe some die cut vinyl on the windshield and it's the new tow vehicle. What could possibly go wrong?

It's a Lotus. That thing only weights 2800#.
An unreliable RV from the worst of the unreliable era of Lotus. It's win-win! And isn't that the same motor as the Jensen Interceptor?
I was on a motorcyclke ride this weekend and saw one of these hiding under a tree. If you'd like a nice diversion from hitting yourself with a hammer I can go see if it's for sale.
Aaaahhhh!!! That last one is definitely a Travco, and the "Lotus" looks suspiciously like it might also have Travco roots. Been there, done that, left it at a gas station in Nebraska after trading straight-up for a 1979 Suburban. And that last was the best deal I've ever been a party to. Burn it with fire.

Yup, per the eBay description the Lotus transporter is a US built Travco.

6.7 liters works out to a 413. Smaller bore than the Jensen's 440 but same stroke and externals.
