This car competed in the Pre-'70 Le Mans Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.
It's the 1967 Lola T70 Aston Martin of Ean Pugh who shared the driving in the race with Keith Norris. Two of these cars were built at the instigation of John Surtees.Team Surtees who entered them in the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hour Race, to be driven by John Surtees/David Hobbs and Peter de Klerk/Chris Irwin, but the first car only lasted 3 laps and the second retired after 25 laps. Ean Pugh's car is Lola T70 chassis SL73/101. The car in the background is the Lotus Elan GT of Don Hands and Peter Dixon, which also took part in that race.
Does this car still exists? I mean with Aston Martin engine? If not a secret wher it may be today USA/UK?
ReplyDeleteI took another photo of the car at Silverstone in 1996, but I can't find any information about the car since that date. I presume it still exists.
DeleteIt does. Was at the Aston Martin 2013 celebration at Kensington Palace.
