Lola Mk 5/5A

Hi I am trying to find the history of a car my uncle bought new in 1963 It was a Lola MK5A Chassis # BRJ-61 Back In Sept 27 1964 My Uncle was killed in a race in Portoroz Yugoslavia IT was thought all of these years that he was driving his Lola and that was the car he was killed in .A few months ago In found his 1963 Lola BRJ –61 here in the usa and still racing. So the mystery started What I have found was in April
Of 1963 my uncle bought a new lotus type 31 and that was the car that he had his accident No one in the family knew of the lotus But knew of the Lola I have found a friend of my uncle that told me that the Lola was parked in his garage in Regensbug Germany at the time of his death and have said the car sat for some time and was all forgotten
Witch brings me to now I have found this car on the Lola web site chassis # BRJ-61 is now in the USA in Texas The new owner show as John Pete Ball
I would love to find out the history of this car who sold it how did it get in the USA
MY Uncle’s race name was Franz Muller his real name was Roman Dirschl from Regensbug Germany The reason for the name change was his mother my grand mother had forbid him from racing so he used Franz Mulller so she would not find out

Welcome, Norm. Have you looked in our Chassis Archive? It's here:-

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70655

Your request for info would probably be better in that thread, so when I receive your confirmation that you have seen this, I'll move your above post across.

ok here is what I had on the Atlas F1 bullentin board nov 3 08


I am Trying to Find any Information regarding my uncle
Back in 1962-64 he raced under the name Franz Muller
His real name was Roman Dirschl his mother my grand mother had forbid
My uncle from racing so he used Franz Muller so she would not find out
The mystery is I think it was round 1964 in Oct I was 11 years then I was told that my
Uncle was killed when he blew a front tire and hit a tree
It was not till last night that three seems to be a mystery here
I talked to my mom and she insist this is what happen but it would not be the first time she lied to me. last night I was on the
Lola web site and found documentation showing Franz Muller bought one of 12 Lolas MK5A that were built in 63 s it showed his names and also as Roman Dirschl and gave the chassis # as BRJ61 then I went to the Lola chassis register and it show NOW a Lola MK5A Chassis BRJ 61 as Now owned my a John Pete Ball and the car is in the usa in running shape and This is my Mystery I was told then and now that the car had exploded in to a fire ball so how can this car still be around If this is the case then what did happened My other uncle many years ago told me that It was in my best interest NOT to know what happen and his last words were what it seams is not as it was I did not understand this till last night when I found that the car is still around
Sadly he past some years ago and took his secret to the grave and my mom will not tell me
I would love to hear form any one that knew my uncle and what is the big mystery that happen in 1964 I really need to know the truth
