The Lotus 30 that has come to be known as the Pink Stamps Lotus 30 was the most successful Lotus 30 or 40. It competed in over 50 International Grand Prix Races for Sports Cars and National (Great Britain) Races. It has a total of 21 wins, 10 second places, 6 third places, and one each at 4th, 5th, and 6th place. It also achieved 13 overall wins, 10 second places, 5 thirds, and 8 fastest lap of race records.
The Pink Stamps Special Lotus 30 is currently owned by Richard Keyes of Portland, OR, USA. It has been restored to near the condition it was when it raced at Silverstone on 30 Aug. 1970, where it set the fastest lap record and won its first race as the Pink Stamps Lotus 30. The car is powered by an ex-Alan Mann Ford GT 40 LeMans engine with Gurney-Weslake heads.
