Mmmmmmm! Nice!


I think the H16 came rather later:

We were doing some R&D on a much later Lotus F1 so had the opportunity to be with it when driven by Mika Hakkinen. When it starts up in the hanger, the noise is *unbelievable*  :shock: Even with your fingures in your ears it hurt!

No it's definately a V. I've got a cutaway drawing somewhere in a copy of (possibly?) 'Car'

1950 about I'm thinking of.
Any chance of you finding that cut-away ?? Please

V8MoneyPit:
The web page says 1953, so not far out.

The H16 looks like mid to late '60's.

That sound really stirs the soul, try this one too, http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/merlin[1].wav it's a regular occurance in the summer as I live not far from filton airfield where Rolls keep their Spit.

V8MoneyPit:
Ooo, yyeeeesssss!!! Sorry, got a bit excited then  :shock:  :lol:

There is a Merlin engined P51 kept near here. Sounds awesome too.
