    I think Gordon Gimble owns it now, white car, blue accents
    I read where John Klug ordered it from Lotus to fit a 289 Ford
    but also read where Gurney had a Californian engineer it for a Ford

    Be that as it may, was it for Pacesetter Gurney ran the car or
    for Arciero brothers. Maybe for Arciero he ran a FPF powered 19. PS I know the "FP" means Fire Pump so what was the second "F" standing for?

    Also I remember talking to Wayne Linden after he found it in derelict form in a truck.
    Was it missing engine, Colotti gearbox, wheels and body or was there something besides the frame? (I lost track of Linden decades ago).
    It's funny that it started out with 11 Lotus 19 cars and now there's 17. Somehow they multiply.
    Anyhow anybody who heard a good story about them, or knows who owned it between Klug and Gimble, I'd like to have an update.
    I also heard it described as the "fastest far in the world" which I doubt,I mean the Maserati 151 could do 175 mph in '63, was it faster than that?
