I doubt he faked his death but I wouldn't have much trouble believing he secured his families financial future through insurance fraud and then offed himself because he knew he was screwed and would be at risk of losing everything if he went to court
Chapman had a heart condition for years ,definitely not a conspiracy theory , a genius engineer if he had survived it would have been a major scandal , its more likely Lotus would have been sold off , De Loreon was never going to work and making in Belfast during the troubles as crazy ........................there are rumours Colin had a Scandinavian child .... who made very fast cars beginning with K
Adrian Newey is Colin Chapman. A man who new a man who knew a woman who had an affair with both Colin and Adrian and said it was definitely the same person told me that and I believe him
I choose to believe he did and came to Brazil, and that somewhere in here this bright engineer "Colinho da Chapa" worked on race cars. I mean, Stock Car designs got really cool in the 80s, so it ties in neatly.
I went last may to the classic team Lotus museum with a less nerdy friend (we were also doing a track day at Snetterton so it was easier to drag him along) and I went on and on about this theory on the way down as we had to make a ten hour drive and I couldn't play bring back V10s for the whole journey for fear of turning him into a crazed killer and winding up in a headline. He asked the tour guide about the theory because he didn't know it was taboo and the guide who already didn't trust us as we were the only under 40s in the group shot us a look that could probably have destroyed half the cars in the building if he hadn't been looking at us
@@nedzosf1gridbox to be fair, the guide seemed to dislike us anyway since we showed up in a not exactly pristine and prestigious car, we were wearing a Minardi t shirt and a Celtic strip respectively and I kept asking him questions out of a pink notebook I borrowed from my sister so he probably thought we looked like clowns regardless of any conspiracies we brought up
Obviously, he had travelled back in time to introduce ground effect etc. And now, he is hiding some where in the future. It’s the only logical conclusion that makes any sense.
I think he faked his death, if he was as innovative etc as they say he was then it wasn't beyond him to do it. Remember to that he was a shrewd business man if somewhat in financial and legal trouble. Best way out is to disappear and put it all behind you.
Good fun Nedzo. A nice conspiracy from time to time just to make sure we’re all still awake. lol. I particularly liked your Latin Colin Chapman assumed names. 😂
This looks like a story taken straight from a James Bond movie and actually in one of the movies about Agent 007 (Die Another Day to be exact) where one of the villains did exactly that (though, it was through 'gene therapy' and not cosmetic surgery).

Fair enough

A lifetime of amphetamine use caught up and he died of a heart attack.
Fair point

Haha

Haha good theory
I really do enjoy the humour you inject to your videos!
Thanks mate, it’s good to know some people recognise it

Haha, lesson learned there is not to tell people suspicious stories

@johnyossarian1135 haha, should’ve brought along a tinfoil hat
What a load of old cobblers. Chapman died of a heart attack, end of story
If that’s your opinion mate, fair enough.

Now that’s a corker of a theory!
Cool Video - nice to find a new channel
Thanks mate

Yep
I once flew with Colin's pilot, he swore that the man didn't die when they said he did.
Interesting

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. Thought I’d flex my Spanish language skills
@@nedzosf1gridbox absolutely!
I've got nothing interesting to add just farting out a comment for the algorithm.
Thanks mate😂, appreciate the support
