Lotus 78 Hector Rebaque - Silverstone paddock 1979 (c)

Rare photo of the Lotus 78 driven by Mexican racer Hector Rebaque in the paddock at the 1979 British GP.

The car was his spare by this time, the team having started running a newer Lotus 79 prior to building their own near-copy in order to qualify as a constructor in F1 (and thus be eligible for better financial incentives and perks). That didn't really work out and Rebaque ended up as team mate to Nelson Piquet at Brabham for a time.
