| #16 Jim Hall's Eleven | |
 |
Eleven development peaked with the model 150, a series 2 car fitted with the Climax FPF twin-cam engine. A report on the three cars made is being compiled by an enthusiast in Australia. But help is needed with the car owned and raced by Jim Hall. This car made its debut at Nassau in 1957 (left) and raced sporadically in the Western USA. But Jim Hall only remembered it as a reliability headache. Can anyone tell us more about it? |
| #17 the Lotus 17 | |
 |
The 17 was intended to replace the Eleven but a horrible first season doomed it to a footnote in racing history. It is best known today as a failure, but this summary tries to be fair. |
| #18 Eddie's cars | |
 |
this message from the UK:
"My father and I have just lost our sanity and purchased two elevens, both imported from the US in 2001 by Mr. P. Walker. I would be very grateful for any information on these cars." |
| #19 the Sports class | |
 |
The 1172cc Ford-powered Sport models were popular in the UK and elsewhere in a racing class they soon utterly dominated. Graham Hill (photo) got his start in one of these. For a report on the class and the cars, wait. |
| #20 homologating the Club | |
 |
Under the 'what might have been' heading, the Eleven Club was briefly included by the SCCA in a production car catagory. The experiment ended quickly after Lotus aces J.C. Kilburn and Jay Chamberlain soon decimated all opposition in their new class. An exclusive report is coming. |
