Got a little further today!
Spoke to the other gent who built the Karmann in 1985/6 with Tony Harman, John Schneider.
The Lola was bought by Harry Humberston's father to alan Humberston.
Most interestingly (as it must be unique) is the chassis then had a Hart 2 litre no less, quite an engine today, let alone then.
That engine came out, and a turbo 1800cc Cossie went in it's place.
Now:
Big question is who did Harry get it off?
A Lola T492 with a Hart in it must have been rare and well known?
Those engines were very popular in hillclimb circles, and i know of a gent who hillclimbed a T 492 in the very early 80's.
Could I be getting to the end (and my chassis number) at last?
Graham.
