Colin Chapman started his highly successful career building a home-made racing car in a dilapidated garage in Hornsey. Now he owns a brand-new factory in Norfolk turning out three thousand Lotus sports cars a year. Since those early days he has also found time to revolutionise Formula 1 Grand Prix racing.
In this classic motor racing documentary, Richard Kershaw tries to keep up with Chapman as he flies between his office in East Anglia and the Grand Prix circuits of Europe.
Clip taken from Millionaire: Colin Chapman, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 29 August, 1968.
