In 2014 Guy Ritchie directed the Warner Brothers movie “The man from U.N.C.L.E.” and needed a 1967 formula 1 race car for a scene at the Goodwood racing circuit. He turned to Stuart Taylor who built him a fully functioning recreation of an original Lotus 49 as driven by Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill.
More recently the car has been used in track days and non-FIA Historic Racing.
