Badges, bezels, labels etc
Here they are:
Emily Car is a ‘black badged’ Europa, this is falsely rumoured to be a symbol of Lotus' mourning the untimely death of Jimmy Clark in 1968. Lotus badges were otherwise Lotus Yellow/green.
I have two original black nose badges, both damaged. Can they be re-enamelled? Are there badgers who produce replicas? I have purchased one pristine badge for Emily car, so these two will be display items.
The Europa badge was filled with some kind of goop in the last century. Salvaged it and alternatively I’ll use the ‘Europe’ badge. This will provide a giddy moment to some eagle-eyed purist in the future, who can point out that it’s not ‘original’ for that year.
One small bezel is missing its mounting studs and the constructors badge is a bit worn.
I am missing the LOTUS boot lid letters.
Other labels
I have some:
