This was one of the competitors in the HSCC Atlantic Computers Historic GT Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
It's the 1966 Lola T70 MkIII of Terry Smith, chassis SL71/23, originally a MkII car and raced in hillclimbs by Phil Scragg with open wheels and cycle fenders. Later went to Tony Harrison, Brian Classic and David Preece, then to Terry Smith who rebuilt the car with MkIII bodywork. The programme of the event shows the engine to be 5,000cc, but the DVLA record (which shows the car is untaxed since 1993) says that the engine capacity is 4,700cc.
