Hi Darren, Do you have any more details on the 10 chassis built in the 70's? I acquired a mkII spider chassis from a T70 owner/restorer who said it was made by Lola in the 70's as a replacement for Bobby Browns car. However, the original chassis of Browns car was repaired instead and the...

Johan, I hope you don't mind but I sent you a private message as you may be able to help me with my project. Let me know if you don't get it? Thanks for the clarification regarding Keiths car. Regards, Karl

This is interesting, I thought this car was rebuilt to correct MkII specs including Ford big block and Mecom livery by Keith in 2011? This is what John Starkey wrote in his latest book, did this not happen? If it did happen it wouldn't have MkIIIB uprights then. Why is this car noted as SL72 in...

Oops wrong pic, this is the one I knocked up from scrap. It's a dolly with caster wheels to move the chassis around that I made from some old bed frames etc. When your working on Lola I figure the kids can sleep on the floor, just kidding. All jokes aside I wish I could take credit for the...

I don't know about next seasons racing as funding will slow me down as the cost of a correct transaxle is high.

Have been busy of late knocking up a chassis from some scrap metal I had hanging around the shop. I think it's pretty good for my first attempt. Still a long way to go though.

Thanks Richard, good to see another aussie on here. Are you building a T70 coupe and ho far along are you?

I assume you have a chassis if you don't have a body? What type is it and would you consider selling?

Hi Marcus, I sent you a PM regarding my spider project but didn't get a response, maybe I did it wrong? Can you send a message to [email protected] so we can correspond as I have a few questions. Thanks Karl

Hi Marcus, As accurate as possible I figure to do the body justice. I have a lead on an authentic reproduction chassis but it may take a few weeks before I have an answer on it. I have also followed your post with interest and have some questions if you don't mind me sending you a PM?

Good question and one that's been frustrating me. I was intending to build my own chassis but finding correct blueprints is not an easy task. There are people who can make me a chassis so the information is out there. Maybe I haven't met the right people yet or networked enough to obtain that...

Received my Lola wheels recently so it was a good xmas and wanted to share. This build will be a slow process as original parts are hard to find but I'll try to purchase them as they become available. If anyone knows of any T70 parts or leads let me know. Thanks

So here are a couple of pic's of what was inside the boxes. Now to get some funds together and a build plan plan for the project so I can make a start. Luckily I have a 350 chev race engine with 48 IDA's I can use from another car to help a little.

No from UK via SA then NZ to Aust from what I can determine. That's how the english spell fragile. Yes I understand they spell some things a little differently in USA like color versus colour etc.

What's in the box? no it's not Mr. Hoffa
