1965 Lola T70 Spyder

This car took part 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 1965 Lola T70 Spyder of Colin Parry-Williams which the programme of the event says has a 5 litre engine. It's the former John Mecom Racing Zerex Special, chassis SL70/13 and you can read William I'Anson's history of the car here.
Here's Colin Parry-Williams at Old Hall Corner during the race.

Lola T70 Spyder

This car took part in the Pre-1972 Le Mans Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.
It's the Lola T70 Spyder of Colin Parry-Williams which appears to be the ex-Mecom car, chassis SL70/13, and which the programme of the event says is a 1966 car and has a 5,000cc engine. On 7 August 2017 I showed a photograph of this car that I'd taken at Silverstone in 2001 where it had a 5,700cc Chevrolet engine and was said to be a 1965 car.

Lola T70 Spyder

This car took part in the 1960s World Endurance Cars Italy v Rest of the World race at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.
It's Colin Parry-Williams' car, listed in the programme of the event as a 1965 Lola-Chevrolet T70 Spyder with a 5,700cc engine. It appears to be the ex-John Mecom Racing chassis SL70/13, originally fitted with a 4.7 litre Ford V8 engine. The car later passed through various hands before being bought by Colin Parry-Williams in 1981, being restored and fitted with the Chevrolet engine in 1997.

I showed photographs of two other Lola T70 Spyders on 24 April 2016 and 12 March 2017.
