That doesn't sound like a Lola T 492!
Am I on a hiding to nothing here, looking for something that does not esist?
Could the tub I have with all it's originality inc the steel rear panel and rear chassis frame be a tub that suffered a serious 'off', was then nicely re-built and lost it's Number in the mangled side/repairs or whatever fate it suffered as a Sports 2000 racer?
On the Lola register, there are 10's of numbers un allocated, and I wonder how many of the t 492's remain in tact?
This car I have certainly had another body. The side pods were extended a bit roughly to meet the body (Halfords 1/8'' pop rivits) but the long folds are accuratly done on a large break press, so someone was doing a reasonable job there.
Quite a mystery!
