BritishV8 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Lola T200, T202, & T204 Formula Fords

Lola's first design for the Formula Ford class, the T200 of 1970 featured a notably shorter wheelbase and also wider track than rivals. It also featured a square-tube frame and fabricated front uprights. The Lola T200 design evolved into the T202 for 1971, with different roll hoop structure (a single removeable brace to the rear crossmember instead of two welded-in braces to longitudinal members on either side of the engine) and also with slightly modified front suspension geometry (forward/lower pickup point on frame relocated to add a small measure of anti-dive). For 1972 the model designation was updated to "T204".

Production:
T200 - 64 cars
T202 - 17 cars
T204 - 35 cars

Design and construction details are described and illustrated (in 53 color photos) much more specifically here:

What can you add? How many of these three models still exist? Where are they now?
