Love the Lola T-600 ....That car was the car that changed everything really ....all were prototypes after that....I do not know Grant, but when I was working with Group 44 to do the chassis for me, they were winding down. Lanky wanted to retire and there were only a few guys left at Group 44. You are right, there were quite a few chassis for that type of project. Group 44 had originally wanted to sell cars like March but not as high volume and be able to have different engine and transaxle options ...there was not enough interest. But by this time the chassis's were already done...(Fab Car had done some of the tubs for Group 44 as well....not sure which chassis numbers)....but that is why there were so many. Later when the XJR7 was done, Group 44 only built 5. I will keep you posted !!
