Lola 290 HU4: I have seen this car racing in Mugello at the 1 Historic Festival last month.
I know the history: 1972 first owner, Bonnier who probably sold it to an italian unknown driver (probably Facetti); 1974 the car was owned by Mr Sergio Mingotti 1976 the car was owned by Mr Bono (Sicily) then Bono sold, on 1978, the car to Mr. Paganucci who fitted the Tecno 3.0 Flat 12 engine. Paganucci ran in Italian Hillclimbs between 1979-1987. Paganucci sold to Giancarlo Ferri in 1988. Giancarlo Feri sold to Lorenzo Prandina on 1999; Lorenzo is the actual owner and restored the car with the Tecno engine. An extensive article was published on "AutoItalia" Magazine, issue 128, February 2007. For more information see: http://www.lolaheritage.co.uk/scrapbook/017/017.htm |

1972 first owner, Bonnier who probably sold it to an italian unknown driver (probably Facetti); I do not think so Facetti i think had no 7 car but i have also heard of a car in italy no 15 purporting to be the abarth Osella Facetti car so is it possible to talk with the owners of this car Mr Mignotti or Bono to see what info they can provide?
1974 the car was owned by Mr Sergio Mingotti |

Dear Driftwood,
I spoke with Lorenzo Prandina and he said me that Mongotti, Bona and Paganucci died all (!). Mr Prandina is investigating about the first possible driver. You can contact directly Lorenzo at: l.prandina@vigilio.it |

Giorgio Danielli's car at Vallelunga was said by Autosport to be brand new so it could be HU12 or HU16. Its livery was identical to Antonio Zadra's car which is recorded as HU8 so it's possible the two cars were actually bought together so Danielli's is a candidate for HU7. Where does the information come from that HU7 was sold to Osella on 5 May 1972? Osella built the T290-Abarth that Hezemans was due to race at Vallelunga on 23 April but he drove the works Abarth instead and Carlo Facetti drove the T290-Abarth. This T290 was then sold by Osella to Antonio Nicodemi who raced it at the Osterriechring in June. Can we be sure this car was HU7? I would have thought Zadra's car at the Targa would be the same HU8 he is recorded as driving elsewhere. However, he crashed heavily in practice at Vallelunga so it's possible he had to borrow another car until HU8 was repaired. If that's true, then the similarity between his Targa Florio car and Danielli's car may be relevant. Like you, I have nothing at all on HU16. Wolfgang, have you found out anything new on this car since you last posted? Allen |

Autosport's Osterreichring reports says Nicodemi had the ex-Osella/Facetti car. We know from Beat that Nicodemi sold it after a couple of races so it may be the car Casoni raced in August 1972.
But do we really know it was HU7 - or is that still educated speculation? And are we any closer to knowing what car Giorgio Danieli had? |

Arthur Blank CH and his LOLA
Hans Treml and Nina Treml tell the story of Arthur Blank in the book "Die Aussenseiter, Schweizer im internationalen Automobilrennsport". There is a picture of a LOLA T290 (they write T294).
Is it the missing T290 HU4 ?? Wolfgang |

Arthur Blank - LOLA
The book have no source for this picture. Mr Blank was one of the owners of "powerslide".

The first half of Wigan-Chelsea was so boring that I thought I'd flick through some nearby Auutosport. On 2 Dec 1976 (p26-27) is an article on the Dorset team and it clearly says that Dorset ran the ex-Edwards/Barclays T290 in 1973 and 1974, upgrading it to T294 spec in 1974 (but without the inboard front brakes). They raced it again in 1975 (now fully T294 spec) and then, for 1976, expanded to a two-car team. The second car was also a T290/4 and also ex-Edwards, having been used as a show car. Unfortunately, there is a printing error as this car is mentioned and it cuts off after saying that it "had never ...". Never what? Never been raced before? I suspect so. I'd speculate that this car is HU29.
So after 1976 there should be two ex-Edwards/Dorset T290s, not one. |

How do you know it was not HU29 and how do you know HU29 went to Japan? Lola records show HU29 being sold to someone in GB.

There were two DRA T294s. One was HU22, the other - according to the article - was also bought by DRA from Edwards but its original identity is unclear.
