997 NUR

Not seen this mentioned elsewhere so, anyone see Jim Clark's Elan on TV last night?

So you may want to skip through the non car bits but plenty of footage of NUR. I'd be interested to know how they got hold of it

Presumably they paid the money?

997 NUR was at Malcolm Rickett's event in 2015 and at the unveiling of the plaque at the old factory in Cheshunt.

I think it is Brian Buckland who cares for it on behalf of the owners.

What a shame!
I live in the town featured at the start of the programme and missed the chance to see 997 NUR!

I also believe Brian Buckland has "care of this vehicle" [to paraphrase something he once wrote]. There is mention of it in the latest edition [4Q16] of club Lotus news. I also saw it at Malcolm Ricketts BBQ a couple of years back... Thought it was nicely restored without going OTT

And here is 997 NUR at that BBQ, with me gingerly sitting on it in Jim Clark's pose (on the poster behind).

I think it still belongs to Michael Schryver.
