driftwood has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
here is where we have some diversion of the original lola and a new monocoque being made ( maybe what you call metric?) however if say chassis 63 ( i pick number out of the sky!) has new chassis made by ROC or jean pierre smith in his garage the car is still lola t292/4 chassis 63

BUT if Jean pierre or ROC or Elkoubi make a new car from nothing then it is not a lola built car and will not have a chassis plate with a Lola sequence number
i cannot see anyone making a replica lola in 1978-82 to race at LM or mountain races when he can go and buy 1 of 20 cars near to him- i would suspect the metric car is a new chassis fitted to an original car
but please give any info on cars you suspect are "metric" cars

would you have the info from the mechanics mouth or reading french race magaizines?
