Thanks for that tip Dave!   I may well do just that.   There is a three-lane 1/32 scale track at Kings Hobby in Austin, Texas and about five years ago, I took the Lotus in and asked if I might just try it on their track to see if it still ran.  They didn't mind at all of course, and when placed in a slot and given some juice, the old dear actually ran backwards!   I don't know if that was the result of the Australian rewind or what, but it was neat to see it moving under its own power again.

Here's a pic of my carrying case from Australia.   Inside, you can see where it once had foam dividers, and also the original body shell for my Lotus 40.  I thought the label inside the lid was cool, and I never recall seeing it before.  Finally, a few wrenches from the Cox kits.
