I'm posting this for a friend that is searching for info on this rare car:
"We have been looking for the history and where about of a series 2 Lotus Eleven that supposedly ran at Bonneville in 1966 or later. This car was created in Detroit by a group of Chrysler engineers from a new Lotus Eleven and a Valiant slant 6 engine. There is a good article on this car in Jay Sloane’s “Lotus Eleven Register” website. It was raced throughout the Midwest, eventually passing thru Arizona in the early ‘60’s and into California in 1964. The last owner recalls selling it to “someone in LA in about 1966 and he raced it at Bonneville”. That is the last evidence that we have of this cars existence. The car was known as the “Lotus Valiant”."
