Early Lotus is sold on

One of the best-known Lotus 10s is now in the ownership of seasoned racer Malcolm Paul after he acquired it from the family of the late historic racer Adrian Hall.

The car registered TCD 13′ was first owned by Mike Anthony, a friend of Colin Chapman, and has raced regularly ever since 1955. Hall owned and raced it for around 15 years until his death last September.

“We’ve left Adrian’s name on the car as a mark of respect,” said Paul, who plans to race the car regularly. He was denied a first race in the car at the Donington Historic Festival after suffering a rear suspension failure in qualifying.
