This book was released on 1997-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lola T70 was the car that Eric Broadley wanted to build for Ford instead of the GT40. He thought the GT40 too conservative in specification for a state-of-the-art sports/racing car, so he left the corporation to build the T70 under the aegis of his own company Lola. Immediately successful, the T70 carried John Surtees to the championship in the 1965 Can-Am series. The cars were also very successful in group 7 races until the series ended in 1967. Under continuous development until the Mk IIIB coupe of 1969, the T70 achieved major successes in shorter events such as the TT and Martini races. Today the T70 is a major force in historic racing.
