A classic Le Mans racing car that belonged to an heroic Battle of Britain pilot has emerged for sale in bits for £55,000.<br />
<br />
The 1959 Lotus Elite was owned from new by Flight Lieutenant James Richard Stoop, better known as Dickie.<br />
<br />
The heroic RAF flyer was a known motoring enthusiast and he entered his state-of-the-art vehicle into the 24-hour race just eleven days after purchasing it.
