Chassis 60279 — badge #17, VIN SCCFC20B7MHF60279 — was bought new through
Scottsdale Lotus by S. Hanson of Paradise Valley, Arizona. This is the same
man as LotuSport’s Arizona-based sponsor and gentleman driver Steve Hansen,
also of Paradise Valley: the car’s first owner was a member of the team. The
two spellings — “Hanson” on the delivery record, “Hansen” in the team’s own
papers — are preserved as each source has them. From Arizona the car passed to

Minnesota owner recorded as D.C.
