The Lotus 35 was a multi-formula racing car designed by Colin Chapman and powered by a variety of engines. In the hands of Jim Clark it won five Formula Two races in 1965 and enabled Clark to win the 1965 Trophées de France Championship[2] and the 1965 British Formula Two Championship.[3]
The Lotus 35 had a monocoque chassis with a tubular spaceframe for the engine, inboard coil springs operated by rocker arms at the front and reversed wishbones with twin trailing and top links at the rear. It was designed to take a variety of engines in order to compete in different formulae, such as a Cosworth SCA or BRM P80 for Formula Two, or a Cosworth MAE for Formula Three.
