By that time they'd left all connection with Radford a long way behind. I'm not sure I have understood you correctly but the Radford factory was operating in tandem with Horizon while I was there early 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,453 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 That was a bit of a guess on my part ! I assumed one closed when the other opened. Thinking about it, there would've had to be some kind of overlap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxtoke 0 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 That is a very interesting photograph of the F1 car in the car park of the Horizon factory. The car is a Lotus 87, raced by de Angelis and Mansell in the 1981 season. I reckon the photo is from the middle of 1981, because Essex and JPS only paired up as Lotus sponsors for the latter part of the 1981 season (this also marries with the fourth new Lotus road car in the car park appearing to be a 1981 model year dry sump Lotus Esprit Turbo).
