This is the Stebro Mk IV. The car raced in one Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 1963 US GP at Watkins Glen. After this single appearance in a F1 race, it was...
Team Lotus Type 25 Chassis R5 1963 on display at the Club Lotus Show held at Donington Park 20th April 2013. Winner 1963 F1 World Championship. The car had the 1497cc Coventry Climax FWMV V8 engine, with 4 twin choke down draught weber DCNL-4 carbureters, producing 200 bhp. In 1963, changes to the car included fuel injection, a lighter monocoque and nose cone air intake ducts. The Type 25 established itself as the fastest car in F1, during 1962 and 1963, in the hands of Jim Clark. Works Drivers - Jim Clark, Trevor Taylor, Peter Arundell, Mike Spence GP Starts - 99 Wins - 14 Points - 163 This actual car is chassis No. R5, it was built towards the end of the 1962 season, Lotus 25 chassis number R5 was originally designated to be Jim Clark's backup car for the South African Grand Prix in East London. However, with a World Championship riding on the weekend's outcome the decision was taken to promote 25 R5 from spare to race status on account of the fact that it used a carburettor-fed Coventry Climax V8 whereas 25 R4 (Clark's existing race mount) was fitted with a new fuel-injected unit. Shrugging aside any horsepower deficit, Jim Clark duly put 25 R5 on pole and was leading the race by a comfortable margin when a smoking engine forced him into retirement. At the time, the fault was attributed to an oil gallery plug falling out. However, in hindsight I think the problem was oil scavenge pump failure. Jim Clark drove the following races aboard 25 R5 in 1963: Pau GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap. Imola GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap Aintree - Pole position but Clark suffered problems during the race. He was called in and changed cars with Trevor Taylor who subsequently finished 7th. BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone - 1st Thereafter 25 R5 became Trevor Taylor's mount. He finished 6th at Monaco but at Spa two weeks later, during practice, the car suffered suspension failure due to a bolt falling out of the rear wishbone mounting and it ended up in the marshal's post at Stavelot. What was left of the car was brought back to the works and stripped but it was decided not to rebuild the car as a new monocoque was nearing completion and time was always a priority. The monocoque, which had been split in half, was placed at the back of the workshop awaiting the scrap man. This chassis began its rebuild in 1984 and was completed in 1987.

One of the most significant GP racers ever. By a mere 2 points Provini failed to win the 1963 World Championship crown for Moto Morini against the formidable opposition from Honda and their champion Jim Redman. This is all the more remarkable because Provini missed 2 GP's! A race department consisting of 4 enthusiastic men and an outstandingly courageous rider on a single cylinder machine challenged the might of the Honda empire and almost won! This bike was ridden to the Italian Championship by Giacomo Agostini and started his brilliant carreer. At the "Coppa d'Oro Shell" at Imola, in a spectacular 250 race, he lapped faster than Jim Redman on the 350 (!!!) Honda four! It was one of the stars of an exhibition of racing cars and bikes at the official inauguration of the fabulous new race track "Circuit Jules Tacheny" at Mettet: www.circuit-mettet.be/presentation.cfm
