At a slight tangent to the idea of this thread ....
The Lola Mk6 GT story.
There is a video on the Jay Leno's garage web site that covers what appears to be the first of 3 Mk6 cars which has been in the ownership of Allen Grant for over 50 years (a the time of the video). We are told that Grant was a driver/mechanic working for Shelby on the GT40 project in the UK and saw the car in the corner of a Lola workshop, asked if you could buy it and Eric Broadley agreed despite it being his personal car that he planned, at some point, ot convert to road use.
A great story and makes the provenance rock solid one would assume.
However back in 2014 the second car built went to Auction in the USA. It seems it did no sell at the time. Here is the blurb in the catalogue.

This suggests that Ford had bought 2 of the 3 cars built but that this one had been sold privately before hand and the owner, for reasons recounted in the text of the piece, refused to sell his and fitted a Chevy engine using Lola to do the work which included widened track front and rear, etc.
Hall & Hall had rebuilt the car prior to its auction so one wonders if they might have some insight.
One way or another the stories relating to the other two chassis seem to be conflicting. Do Ford still own one? Did they ever own two?
Various photos can be found on the 'net with slightly different specs in terms of appearance. Who knows what might or might not have been under the fibreglass?
The Lolas were surely interesting as LM competitors although not successful but what they eventually led to was of even greater significance in the day.
