The Lotus MkVlll was a sports car with great 1950s "spaceship"/aerodynamic lines in the days before cars saw a wind tunnel. It was one of Colin Chapman's early designs but despite it's sleek look it wasn't particularly successful. I love the look of the car so had to build one.

I sprayed it with Humbrol Chrome Silver, the repainted driver is from a Scalextric Cooper-Climax.
