'67 Lotus Type 49

==Description==
The Lotus 49 is an open-wheeled formula race car campaigned by Team Lotus for the 1967 Formula One Season. Designed by Maurice Philippe under Colin Chapman, the 49 was a follow up design to the previous 43, noted to be extremely unreliable. The 49 was powered by the 3.0L Ford-Cosworth DFV V8; it was the first Formula One car to use this engine, which was built as a stressed member of the car's chassis. Driven by two-time champion Jim Clark and 1962 champion Graham Hill, the car won on its debut with Clark winning the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix; the car would continue to be upgraded and race until 1970, winning a total of 12 races. The DFV V8 would later become the dominant engine used in Formula One for the remainder of the decade and the next, with use fading out by the early 1980s. 12 chassis were built.
The initial release is a replica of Jim Clark's Lotus 49; the white race suit was chosen as a homage to the Grand Prix series of the 1970s.
