Johan the Lola T70 was indeed Type 70 as you said. But it never followed a Type 60 as far as I know. Its replacement was a T160 and that was followed by a T163. So concurrent numbering does not always play a part. Since the first Lola was a Mark 1 and the 1963 Lola GT was a Mark 6. Incendentially I was corrected in my assumption that the GT40 was the only Ford sportcar named by its height. The Ford C100 was also call by its height of 100cm.
