This Lotus XV is one of about 22 survivors and is the last one built by the factory. It is #628/3 (indicating a series 3 car). While not raced on the continent, it had an illustrious and successful early career here competing mainly in south central US and Nassau driven by JC Kilburn. A Buick 215 dry sump motor replaced the FPF in the late '60s and #628 was extensively shown in the upper Mid West while registered and driven on the street.

The KTR restoration will come full circle back to the FPF even though the Buick remains with the Lotus.
