1962 Lola Mk4

I took this photograph during practice for the Aintree 200 race in April 1962.

It's a 1962 Lola Mk4 with a 1,494cc V8 engine that was campaigned in the 1962 season by the Bowmaker Racing Team in place of the Cooper T53 cars they had used the previous season. John Surtees drove this car in the race, qualifying in third place on the grid, but retired after 37 of the 50 laps with a valve gear malfunction. The second Bowmaker Racing Team car was driven by Roy Salvadori who qualified in 15th position on the grid but retired after 8 laps with a broken throttle linkage.
