Fancy owning a super-rare Ford Lotus Cortina raced by a host of motorsport legends? Well here’s your chance.
PHK 614D is one of just three Group 5 works cars built by Lotus for the 1966 Saloon Car Championship. And, as if that wasn’t reason enough to covet it, it was driven in that competition by none other than Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Sir John Whitmore, Peter Arundell and Jacky Ickx.
Now it’s going under the hammer at Silverstone Auctions’ Autosport International Sale – with a hefty estimate of £180,000 to £200,000.
Whatever it ends up selling for in January, it’s already enjoyed quite the life.
Built in March 1966, it was promptly put to work with Clark – by then a two-time Formula 1 World Champion – who drove it at Oulton Park, though bad weather meant running was limited.
Just a week later, it competed at Snetterton, where Arundell, another Formula 1 driver, took it to a second-in-class finish in the Archie Scott Brown Memorial Trophy.
