Collector Notes

The Lotus 78 is one of the most significant Formula 1 designs of the 1970s and became famous for its pioneering use of ground-effect aerodynamics. Driven by Swedish Formula 1 star Ronnie Peterson, the #6 Lotus delivered a memorable victory at Kyalami in March 1978.

Peterson fought his way through the field before defeating Patrick Depailler in a dramatic finish, crossing the line less than half a second ahead of the Tyrrell. The combination of an iconic Lotus, one of Formula 1's most celebrated drivers and a genuine Grand Prix-winning specification gives this MINI GT release exceptional appeal for historic motorsport collectors.
