Lola only made (3) of these MK VI cars, and when they sold one to John Mecom (Chevy racer), Ford had a canary!
Ford tried (unsuccessfully) to buy the car from Mecom, who raced it with a small block chevy for a few years,
with some success.

The neatest thing about the MK VI is that Eric Broadley
(owner of Lola) DROVE the car to Lemans to participate
in the 24 hour race in 1963! Wonder how many people
did that?
