I shot about a hundred detail photos of 49R6 and 49R11 (49R2?) to aid in building the Tamiya Type 49 kit. Many of them used to be online, but I can't find where they are on the Web now. Obviously, I have them here.

I would also look at Michael Oliver's book on the Type 49.

I don't know if any plans are available for purchase. Contacting Classic Team Lotus would be the best place to start.

All I have ever seen is period reproductions of Team Lotus' GA drawings. I have one of the 2nd rev of the Type 72. Never seen anything more detailed than that.

There is a guy around here who was building a GT40 from scratch under some kit car bodywork. He used to build aircraft jigs at Boeing. It looked pretty good when I saw it a few years ago.
