Hi Johan

This photo is the best I have seen of SL71/34 showing the original AAR colours at the 1966 Bridgehampton Can-Am.

Regarding your car also finishing 1st at USRRC at Bridgehampton earlier in 66, I think Starkey and others got that wrong - the car that came 1st in that race was a MK1, SL70/10, per the photo below. As I understand it, your car only raced in Can-Am.

There are a few decent photos in Dave Friedman's book "Lola Can-Am and endurance racers" and Pete Lyons has some from the Bridgehampton Can-Am race. Pete's email is fastlines@earthlink.net

If I dig anything else out I will let you know. Good luck.

Rob
