I first started reading the 280 thread when it was at page 10
since then ive been busy i now return and see you guys have been busy through to page 15 !!
Lauri @ Lola Heritage has told me that only 5 280 cars were ever built & ive been flicking though 72& 73 autosports and i found walter lehman orders 290 with dfv fitting kit to install dfv later in jan feb 73 issues lehman has wanted ad for dfv
i try to attach AS article but its not working (can someone advise how to do this)
FYI Toby bean has 280 type lola with DFV in usa is this another car or Skidmore car?
i saw it race at Elkhart lake last redman event 2003

re Blaton cars do i infer from earlier comments that 1 is real and 1 a "replica" :P
Excellent info Driftwood - both JJ and I must have missed that! Do you have a photo you could post or PM to me of the Bean car? I have seen a pic of a red car which is supposed to be HU1 but am not sure if this is Bean's car or not...

Re Blaton's cars, it is difficult to say if you know what I mean...

If you have trouble posting images, perhaps you could email them to someone (not me, sorry!) who could put them up on a web-page, maybe Jeremy?
