A fantastic 24-car collection of Lotuses is expected to raise more than £1.5m at auction during the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 29 June. Top-seller is expected to be the Team Camoradi 1961 Lotus-Climax 18, estimated at £175,000-£225,000. Olav Glasious’ collection also includes several prototypes such as the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show M200 Speedster, and the lovely Cliff Allison and Keith Hall 1958 Lotus X1 Le Mans.
