The Lotus Cortina offered here is one of only two Group 5 works cars that were built by Lotus for the 1966 British Saloon Car Championship. Car number E14 LS was constructed in March 1966, registered PHK614D and immediately assigned to Jim Clark for use at Oulton Park on 2nd April, although the meeting was disrupted by poor weather. The next outing was at Snetterton a week later where fellow Formula 1 driver Peter Arundell took the car to a 2nd in class and 5th overall finish in the Archie Scott Brown Memorial Trophy. Over the course of the next month two more 2nd in class results would be achieved at Goodwood and Silverstone with Arundell and Jacky Ickx driving. In May the car was used as a spare car at Crystal Palace and in June the engine was converted to fuel injection by BRM. The first race with the new engine was the Grand Prix support race at Brands Hatch on 16th July where Sir John Whitmore achieved a 1st in class victory and 4th overall finish. The car was back at Brands Hatch in August for the Guards International meeting and on this occasion Peter Arundell placed 3rd overall and 2nd in class. Arundell was the driver for the last two races of the season at Oulton Park and at Brands Hatch where he managed a class win on 30th October. The achievements of Arundell in PHK614D were enough to secure him 3rd place in the British Saloon Car Championship and Team Lotus finished 1st in the Lombank Entrants Trophy.
