As I got a tip for www.motorsportimages.com I went there looking for pictures of the 1962 Lotus 25.
I found many but there are some that i question.
Are these ID:
1017835781
1017835782
1017835783
1017835784
1017835785
1017835786
1017835787
1017835788
1017835789
Really the 25? I was thinking that they perhaps could be of the Lotus 24.

Hi Orso,
No they are not a lotus 25, all the photos you list show a tubular chassis and the Lotus 25 had a monocoque.
Although motorsport images is a great resource, their image descriptions are sometimes wrong.
img 1015167510 and 1015167516 are of the Lotus 25's debut at Zandvoort. From these you should be able to identify the rest!

I noticed the tubular framing and that it didn't look anything like the 25 so I hoped that it would be the 24 as it also were at Holland 1962.
I have been toying with the idea of building a Lotus 24 but pictures are harder to find than of the 25.

The problem with motorsport images is, that the description is usually based on the car used in the race.
A good example is Monza 1978:
Several pictures of Peterson have a description telling you that Ronnie is driving a Lotus 78. Even when it is quite obvious that Ronnie is sitting in a Lotus 79.
