Default Team Works Lotus Cortina Wheels?

Hey all,
Long time reader, small time writer!

A teacher at my school wants to sell me his 1967 Mk2 Cortina for a steal, and I'm thinking about creating a replica or look-alike of Graham Hill's Team Works Mk2 Cortina. Its fully original apart from 13" Jellys.

Does anyone know where I could find some immitation Team Works wheels?
and how could I get the "Team Lotus" text in the green splash?

And what were the main details for the Lotus Mk2's, like the upgraded suspension etc? I've tried wikipedia etc but you can only get so much from searching with your own limited knowledge in the first place!

Cheers, Toby

Best places to ask would be

http://classicford.mine.nu/forum/default.asp
http://www.cortina-mk1.com/
http://www.smallfordcarclub.com.au/
http://www.rsmotorsport.com.au/

As for the decal, see if you find a good clear image of it and take it to a sign writer.

Here is a genuine Mark One for sale.

see if you can contact the owner and get some pictures of the paint/stickers etc

I saw a photo (here) which looked like the 4-spoke RS wheels, which you see from time to time. Best bet would be to monitor Ebay etc & contact the "small Ford" clubs

Hi escort obssesed, if you are located in sydney are i can help you out with the signage, the green would be best sprayed on as it would be hard to match the color in vinyl sticker, there are a couple of genuine lotus cortinas that are the right colour (which are hard to get right) in the small ford car club
for the wheels SMAKA can help you out he gets alot of stuff from england & is resonably priced - http://www.smckaperformance.com.au/
