Description
This Lotus 22 has undergone full re-build at Peter Denty’s during 2023 and 2024. The chassis was completely stripped and a new roll over bar to the latest specification installed. The chassis was powder coated and all components refurbished/ replaced as necessary. Sliding spline driveshafts have been fitted in place of doughnuts as now allowed by the FIA. The body has been repainted a dark blue.
The engine has undergone a full rebuild by Jeremy Bennet at Nemesis Racing, parts included a new Richardson cylinder head, new pistons, con rods, valve train etc.
The Hewland 5 speed gear box has been rebuilt by Tony Wilson including a new crown wheel and pinion amongst the many other new parts installed.
New Lifeline fire extinguisher fitted to current specification.
Belts valid until end of 2026
New FIA papers issued valid until 31/ 12/ 2035.
All bills for purchase and rebuild included in the file
On completion James Denty gave the car a shakedown at Snetterton November 2024 with some minor issues raised at the shakedown attended to.
The car is now ready to compete in any Formula Junior race worldwide. The car was imported in parts from Germany by Kevin Whittle in 2000 and was rebuilt and FIA papers issued for it.
The car went through a couple of hands before I bought it from an auction house in October 2022.
Once received it was realised the car was in a poor condition and so a total rebuild was called for.
