This young boy might not have been born when the 1963 Lotus-Climax 25 was racing in period (in fact, even his father might not have been a twinkle in the eye of his father at that time!), but its graceful, tapered nose was still enough to stop the boy in his tracks whilst being pushed through the Goodwood Revival paddock in his buggy (A Ferrari sportscar maybe? Or maybe a '50s Indycar with those blue wheels?). Once a Lotus fan, always a Lotus fan, and in 15 years time, maybe he'll be driving a Lotus Formula One car? Stranger things have happened…
