Silverstone was Lotus’ final attempt to run their twin-chassis 88, now in modified B form, but although the cars were deemed legal by the RAC and passed scrutineering, protests from several teams saw them excluded from the meeting during first qualifying. The main changes to the car were the livery and the description of the systems! There are subtle changes to the kit parts when compared with Ebbro’s release of the first version of the car (EBB20011) and this includes the removal of some duplicated parts as full chrome side skirts are not needed. There are chrome decals for the sides though and the inset vent panels are also plated. In most photos the car is shown wearing just Courage, Tissot and Essex sponsorship but in free practice it ran alternative sponsors which are included on the Museum Collection decal sheet.
