I wonder how many Mini's you could fit in this one?

Must have been quite a ramp system to get that low slung Lotus on and off the VW pickup.

Here's a photo of it (or a similar car) being unloaded:

Same car. Pete still races that same car at vintage events. He has a much nicer transporter now...

 

I imagine they would have had to attach the updated wing after arriving at their destination.

Saw an interesting 2 car hauler today:

It seems like it would be pretty top heavy with that pick up on top.

 

The bottom floor slides out aft and the top floor hinges down in the rear to load the top car.

The hydraulic rams lift the back end up to level out the top car. Then you can load a car on the bottom floor and slide it back into place.

Pics of a couple of transporters I've seen recently.

 

This was at the Classic Team Lotus Festival on Father's day at Snetterton:

It was used by BMC for factory high performance training in Australia.

 

It looked like it would hold 2 or 3 Formula cars or Minis inside.
