Lazenby built an Austin 7 Special in his youth, then, following RAF service, he worked at Lotus. Initially, he worked in the Elite assembly shop, before joining Colin Chapman’s Team Lotus, under Jim Endruweit.
Preparing Clark’s F1 cars, and on the Indianapolis 500 crew with which the world champion won at their third attempt in 1965, brought action and adventure before he joined Lotus Components.
