1965 Lola T70 Spyder

This car competed in the Pre 1974 Le Mans Cars race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

It's the 1965 Lola T70 Spyder of Harrogate Horseless Carriages, chassis SL71/31, which was driven in the race by Colin Blower. It has a 5 litre Chevrolet V8 engine and the programme of the event has this note about the Lola T70 entrants in the race:

'Spyder versions are handled by ex-rallycrosser Colin Parry-Williams and Colin Blower. The latter, owned by TVR dealer Nigel Kemp, set the outright lap record for Silverstone's GP Circuit in 1996 driven by Denny Hulme. A year later he was Formula 1 World Champion.'
