98T Lotus with camel livery?
This is my first topic, I`m a modeler from south Brazil and my focus is the late 80`s and early 90`s.
I know that there is a S27 kit of the 98T lotus with the camel livery. But, I searched for any kind of info about this car and couldn`t find it.
Does anyone knows something about this specif version?

Team Lotus painted a late season 98T chassis in Camel livery ( and with Honda logos on the cowling ) to show the new livery for the 87 season.

First of all welcome!
Never heard anything like that. Why would they?
well maybe there was a presentation car and S27 found a way to get more revenue from they 98T kit?
What I can tell that was made was a Lotus 100,5
A Lotus 100T chassis with a 101 body, that was used as show car at Barcelona Salo de l'Automobil, I think in 1989. I was there and have a picture!

Do you know if the car went to the track? Was the engine fire? Who was the driver?jaykay wrote:Team Lotus painted a late season 98T chassis in Camel livery ( and with Honda logos on the cowling ) to show the new livery for the 87 season.
So the car had a Renault engine with a Honda sponsor, or Had the lotus changed the engine?
Is there any records of this day?
So many questions... kkk

I enjoy very much this strange creations that never really went to track.
Re: 98T Lotus with camel livery?
There is one picture in the book "Team Lotus - the Senna years". It doesn't say anything about the engine installation or if the car was driven like that.rfmcebrian wrote:Do you know if the car went to the track? Was the engine fire?

I have seen some cars with livery of next years, but in this specific case, never heard about it.

Still looking for the 100,5 picture. It had the engine air intake closed, and simulated with black paint!!
