DAD 10

Sir,

I have just received my August Motor Sport, and was very interested to read Denis Jenkinson’s article about DAD 10, that well known Lotus Elite owned by Les Leston in the early sixties.

DAD 10 is alive and well in the USA, as you can see from the enclosed photo. Not red with twin white stripes, as it was when! first made its acquaintance at Brands Hatch in 1961. but dark blue with a single stripe.

The photo was taken at Sebring in March this year, at the Vintage and Historic races held before the 12-hour race. DAD 10 won its class, beating an MGA, Toyota 2000 GT and an Abarth Zagato. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you who owns the car, nor where it lives in this vast country.
