Lotus 56B F1 version
The Lotus 56 which crashed at Indy in practice killing Mike Spence was shipped back to England where it was eventually reconfigured to be run in F1. It added fuel tanks on the sides (seen as bulges in the pictures) and nose wings and a spoiler on the back. It proved fast in practice and in at least one race which ran in rain.
