Martin J Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 At least it looked like one. reg number UPL 5 green in colour & driving in the pouring rain with no hood. Driver in wet weather gear. 😶🌫️ 😶🌫️ A25 Borough Green this afternoon. I'm sure I have seen a picture of UPL 5 in a book or perhaps in low flying? edited to say it's a Lotus 6 Edited by - martin jeffrey on 24 May 2013 17:20:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJD Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 UPL 5 is a Lotus 6 and was/is owned by the Brewers and went to the Classic Le Mans in 2012. I believe the S2 7 in the background of the photos is Brian Soper's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I had a good look round & chat with the owner of this lovely early Lotus this morning at Orchard View Garage's breakfast meet in Yalding. Ford side valve engine, 3 speed gearbox & cable operated brakes. Delightful. It has done a number of track days & is regularly driven down to LeMans. 😶🌫️ Hopefully SM25T will be along with some photo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
