What Lola was it?
When driving home from wintersport early February this year, we overtook a British registered RangeRover on the road between Chambery and Aiguebelle. Now this is not abnormal, apart from the fact that the Rover was towing a trailer carrying a partly covered blue Lola 4 cylinder sportscar....T210??. So who bought what, where, and what will happen?

I think that ws a friend of mine - he bought one in Italy and towed it back about that time, and he would have been in either a Disco or Range Rover

If it's the same one it was a friend who is very low profile so I am not sure if he will relish me naming him on a forum but he raced with some success a GRID Group C car in Thundersports in period (I think he won a race at one of the Birmingham races) which until recently he still had hanging up in his mews house! He intends to race it...

Well, until it does race again, I think it is the history that we are interested in, so moved!

Ooh I love things like this!!
Sounds good though. Racking my brains trying to remember who pedalled/ran GRIDS in Thundersports that could be the buyer in question? Dudley Wood, Gil Baird, Tony Lanfranchi were 3 people I recall running GRIDS in the early 80's who else was there? |

he is a very old friend but when he gets a bee in his bonnet he is like a scratched record!!!! For some reason his life is on a need to know basis and as such hates unwarrented publicity - incredibly he is a good driver with no ego issues!!
