Lola T70

Lola T70 by John Starkey

The definitive racing and development history of one of Britain's most important sports racing cars, includes international competition history & completely revised individual chassis histories of T70, T160 & T165. Although powered by what was basically a "road car" engine, it could usually be counted upon to give a hard time to the opposition in short distance events, be they Ford or Ferrari mounted. That it could not survive most of the endurance races it was entered in was due either to the low octane fuel allowed in Europe or lack of development by a small factory that, in order to survive financially, had any number of projects running at the same time. Over many years, John Starkey - T70 owner and ex-Curator of the famous Donington racing car collection - has compiled a huge amount of information on the cars and interviewed many past and present owners and drivers
