Jeremy Jackson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
We touched on this briefly in the T280 thread (around page 4-ish!)

Probably only 2 true T380s, the rest being de Cadenet, on which the LM4 which Allen mentioned is one.

HU2 (the 1001st Lola bult I think!) went to Jolly Club in 75, and they used in through to 77 at least.


Not sure whether the LM# is proper notation, in addition the first Ecosse C2 car was based on a chopped de Cadenet.

Anyway,

de Cadenet's 75-76 car went to Simon Phillips / Dorset Racing, and maybe to Francy Jerancic, who had a large accident in 1989 Interserie. This iwas often quoted as the basis for the original Group C ADA, but that car appears to be actually based on a unraced (maybe) T29x Lola .

77 car went to John Cooper, raced as the SG Lola. Not sure the fate of this.

the 78 car (Allen's LM4) retained / raced through to 81 (81 LM as the Belga liveried car)

In this notation, LM-1 is the original Duckhams Special.

Any corrections gratefully received...
