Think the Mk1 is either a late Lotus Twin Cam (usually rectangular headlamp tho), or an early RS1600 BDA (more likely). The RS2000 wasn't launched until October 1973... Sorry for being anal  |

Yeah, the twin cam sounds right, but I'm not sure how it's been registered as an RS.... Only thing I can think of is that someone has done a cherished transfer on the original reg onto an Rs2000, as that model was definitely not released until 1973.... Very nice car nonetheless.....

Hi, Nice photo of the twincam, the original owner blew the twincam engine up in 1974 rallying it, so he put a RS2000 engine in it and changed it on log book with dvla back then, now I have restored her and put the original engine back in I am in the process of changing it back not been on the road since 1977, not as easy as it was in 1974 !! hope this helps
as for the headlamps it had cibie biodes fitted
