This car’s Lotus 77-style bodywork was originally built for the 2013 film Rush starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl as James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Following its acquisition by a private party, the bodywork was fitted over a steel Formula Ford chassis. A Yamaha 600cc motorcycle inline-four engine was also installed and is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox with a chain-driven rear axle. The car wears a #5 John Player Special livery, and it rides on 13″ center-lock wheels mounted with staggered racing slicks. Additional equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rears, coilovers, front and rear wings, side pods, a roll hoop, and a Sabelt multi-point harness. This Lotus 77-style race car is now offered on a bill of sale in Poole, United Kingdom.
