    T70 in Octane Magazine

    Damage not too bad. Nose box and rad, new nose and repairs too the centre section. Can't remember for sure now but I don't think it even damaged the suspension. Unlike when Carlos put his 3b in the wall at Estoril 3 weeks before his home town race in Porto. Managed to get that fixed in time...

    MkIIIb door hinges

    Hi Chris. Managed to get a couple of pics of hinges "in situ". They are a really basic hinge and just bolt through the door and center section framing. Hope they are of some help. Have been having a route around in the workshop as I'm sure we have a couple of sets somewhere to get a picture of...

    Lola for sale on e-bay

    I was going to say exactly the same as Hamsterace, but he pipped me at the post. Body is Mk3 not 3b. Seem to be quite a few 160's cropping up with T70 bodywork and calling themselves T70's. As for "Probably the only shark gill tailed T70 coupe in existence" I rest my case. Quote"Local car...

    Brands Masters

    As it's been a bit quiet, thought I'd put this link in to the Lola Heritage scrapbook write up of the event. And as an aside to that, we didn't dissapear from race 2 after 10 laps, we did actually finish 3rd, with failing fuel pressure which we have now traced to the puck-up pipe having been...

    Where to test the lola...

    Hi Matthew. Depending on when and where you eventually test, there are quite a few people out there who would prob give you some advice and a bit of help. Gary Pearson and Simon Hadfield both run T70 spiders, and if approached, would prob give you some guidance. Even me, despite my last post...

    Where to test the lola...

    That pic reminded me of our old supertraps... As for where to test, we usually go to Brunters, but still get hassled about noise, or one of the Masters test days. but getting down to noise limits is a real prob. I don't tend to do much private testing because of so many variables between...

    formula 1 1967 replica cars

    Thanks Chris. They really are a beautiful thing. Before I got into Historic racing I worked 10 years with Nicholson Mclaren Engines, building and developing DFV's. Right through their glory days in Group C and F3000. Loads of engines for the TGP F1 series too. Still my all time favourite. Only...
