The Type 32B™ - The Tasman Series Tribute

A limited edition of only 32 pieces, the Type 32B™ sunglasses pay tribute to a key chapter in motorsport history. The Lotus Type 32B, developed from the Formula 2 Lotus 32, was a modified one-off fitted with a 2.5-litre Coventry Climax engine for the Tasman Series.  Clark’s mastery of this machine led him to win the series in 1965.

Each pair of sunglasses features the Renauld Keepsake Marque™, Renauld’s unique hallmark containing an authenticated fragment of an original second gear from the actual Lotus Type 32B. This rare piece of history is embedded into the frame and sourced directly from Classic Team Lotus.  The sunglasses are hand-assembled from 24ct gold plate and fitted with olive green lenses, bearing the Team Lotus badge.  Accompanied by a bespoke handmade Type 32B™ leather case embossed with the winning Lotus, Jim’s signature and presentation box

Craftsmanship and Care

Crafted from the finest materials, the Jim Clark Type 32B sunglasses feature 24ct yellow gold plated frames and optically perfect UV400 DIVEL, scratch resistant lenses in Olive Green. Each pair of sunglasses is meticulously hand-assembled at the Renauld Studios in Italy and integrates pioneering interactive ValueBond™ technology.  To clean the lenses, use a Renauld lens cloth or non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid placing the glasses with the lenses facing down.
