Here's one that arrived today in a job lot.  No packaging.  The base has "LOTUS, LESNEY MATCHBOX SERIES, MADE IN ENGLAND, NO. 19."  Anything special?

It's a pretty common one on ebay.  It is missing its driver fyi.

Thanks, Jack.  Guess that's why it was in a job lot.

Hi David,

The 19-D Lotus Racing Car was issued between 1965 and 1966 before a colour change  Here it is with the driver.

I skipped this one in the Early Matchbox posts. I'll add it and the other variations in the next few days.
