Lotus World Magazine - request for info

[nw2002]

Hello

I am currently undertaking additional research for the book I am writing about Team Lotus covering the seasons 1983-1994.

I recently came across a selection of issues of Lotus World magazine hosted on the fantastic Elio De Angelis tribute website (http://www.eliodeangelis.info) which contained some fascinating information that I wasn't previously aware of.

To avoid missing out on further important information, I am now on the lookout for the remaining issues of the magazine and was wondering if anyone either had scans of issues or copies for sale.

Thanks

What issues have you got and which ones are you looking for?

[nw2002]

Thanks for your reply.

I've got selected pages of 22 issues in PDF format, which are:

January 1983
May 1983
June 1983
July 1983
August 1983
November 1983


January 1984
March 1984
May 1984
July 1984
August 1984
November 1984
December 1984


June 1985
August 1985
October 1985
November 1985
December 1985


January 1986


July 1987
August 1987


As I understand the magazine ended following the February 1990 issue, that leaves 64 issues from the start of 1983 that I've not yet seen.

I’ll let you know if I have anything you’re missing - may take a few weeks to check it out. Eliot died back in 1986 so I guess that narrows your area of interest. There’s never much said once the dust settles after an accident - unless it’s a Senna or a Schumacher.

Thanks very much for getting back to me.

Anything and everything Team Lotus related in the magazines is of interest to me.

I've found that the race reports in particular go into much more detail than the corresponding issues of Autosport.

I look forward to hearing from you whenever is convenient.

Kind regards

OK, I've finally used this rainy day to check what I've got - and unfortunately there's nothing you don't already have.

Sorry about that, and good luck with your venture.

[nw2002]

No worries

Thanks for looking anyway...

Neil - if you resurface on PH - I've come across some that you don't have.

Thanks for your message.

Since I last posted I've managed to acquire all but a handful of issues of Lotus World in physical printed form.

At present, I'm just missing the following to complete my set, though I do have these as scanned images:


April 1982
October 1983
July 1984
March 1985
May 1985
July 1987
September 1987

OK. I guess if you've got the scanned images then you've got the ground covered.
