Vintage shots from days gone by!

Yep, it is a Lotus. That's Jim Clark driving. He later died in 1968 on that track during a Formula Two race.

That sedan may be left over from a sedan race held as an opening event to that particular Formula One race. You would think they'd have removed it between races though.

 

Not Clark. Jim Clark always wore a dark helmet with a white peak. The Team Lotus cars of that era had either a single or double yellow stripe down the center, nose to tail as well as the nose band.
