Some more tidbits from Autosport 1973/4:
Autosport 20/9/73 p9 Report of Imola 500 16/9/73
"Next quickest at 1m 40.22s was Mario Casoni having a rent-a-drive in the ex-Ecurie Bonnier Lola T280, which was being prepared by Bonnier's ex-chief mechanic Heine Mader, who has now taken over the Bonnier set up and has re-named it HMR Racing Components."
Note: 'Casoni' and 'ex-Bonnier Lola' e.g. HU-01?
Autosport 21/2/74 p5
"Sports racing should receive a big shot in the arm this season if Jeremy Lord's plans are anything to go by. The Castrol/MN champion last season has bought from Italy a three-litre sports Lola with which to keep one ahead of his adversaries in this season's Tricentrol-sponsored championship."
Note: 'from Italy'
Autosport 7/3/74 p33 Report on BARC meeting, Brands Hatch 3/3/74
"...Jeremy Lord had got in to the swing of things in his ex-Casoni Lola T280-DFV (the car sounding beautiful and looking immaculate in its Minilite colours) and rocketed in to the lead for the remaining two tours."
Note: 'ex-Casoni' e.g. HU-01 as hired by Jolly Club, run by HMR at end of 1973?
Autosport 16/5/74 p35 Martini Silverstone Interserie report
"...and Jeremy Lord's Minilite Lola T280 which was in the competent hands of Tim Goss."
N.B. Goss qualified sixth and finished eighth in the race.
Nothing more at present - pressing work deadlines make spending the whole day reading Autosports difficult, much as I would like to!!!
Cheers
Michael
