1965 Lola T70 Traco

I took this photograph in the paddock at Oulton Park before the start of the  RAC International Tourist Trophy Race in May 1965.

It's the 1965 Lola T70 of John Surtees who set the fastest lap in practice but retired with a steering problem after 19 laps of the first part of the race which was scheduled to be run in two parts, each part lasting for 2 hours. The car had a 5.3 litre Chevrolet V8 engine prepared by Traco.
