Hi Rob,

I think it best that I reply to you on that one privately, but no, I was never personally involved with building Allen’s new car.

I've posted the 1963 Le Mans start pic before but seeing that we’re on the subject of the Lola MK6, I repeat. The door tops cutting into the roof clearly show that the MK6 was the forerunner to the GT40.

Note Richard Attwood driving without gloves! Naughty boy, but in those years men were men and Nanny States hadn't been thought of!

I was privileged to have witnessed one of the last ‘proper’ Le Mans starts. A deathly silence a minute before the start and then all hell let loose for the next 24 hours after which the silence was deafening.

If you and I were to build a replica of the MK6 would we have a long waiting list? Perhaps forum members could let us know. If we we’re to, we certainly wouldn’t take deposits up front would we,
otherwise we would also end up as naughty boys. Excuse the sarcasm, but a current, unfortunate situation invites it.

Cheers,
A
