Yet another RCR70.....
This time a white one going to the UK....
bladder tank chassis with cage and powder coated chassis...
also DOT legal Michelin TB15 tyres.....cool but expensive at $1800 per set..but will fit a 13 inch wide rear wheel too.

I love Lolas.....whoops sorry...reflex action...

That chassis looks awesome! What color is it painted/powdercoated?

Thanks

Re: Yet another RCR70.....
Simply lovely Fran... I like the way the powder-coating turned out..

I take it that the cage as seen is optional. Do you offer a standard rear hoop as with the RCR-40?

I wonder how difficult it would be for a tall guy like me to get in/out of a Lola... Hmmmm....

Re: Yet another RCR70.....
The powder coat is called bright aluminum ...its a bright silver but not really aluminum coloured..

The full cage is optional..and yes Randy, a 4 point hoop is standard...
The 3b is a narrow door but not too bad...once inside its very roomy as its got tons more elbow room than a 40 ...

Did I mention I love Lolas...

Careful .... your Kiwi girlfriend might not be as understanding as your wife..... :-P

IMO - In person the color of the chassis looks more gray with very slight dusting of small particle silver metallic. As it was one of the cars in production on my last visit.

Re: Yet another RCR70.....
Of course, it should really be "French Battleship Grey" for that original touch..
Just out of curiosity Fran, but do you run all of you 3b tail pipes straight out like Mk3 or do you do the option to drop them down to exit the lower panel? Or is it just customer preference.
Nice work anyway.

Re: Yet another RCR70.....
Darren ,

thanks for the compliment...praise indeed from a Lola guy.
Customer preference for the tailpipes...we make the headers in house so its not a problem,
As you well know there are originals running with both styles...
