Don't think Huub ever had a T850. In 1980 when he was at Docking Spitzley, he had a 'real' TG280, alongside Stohr. In 81, fro memory he had a private March 802, updated to 812.

So if the Wiiliamson car was ex-Huub, it can only have been a TG280. I still have it described somewhere (can't remember after this time!) as a T860. Does anyone have Lola records to tell us how many of these were ever made. Again from memory I recall rumours that Lee-Davey was looking at one for UK 81 Atlantic, which never happened.

So if none went to the US, its possible the Williamson car was the only one built, or if this isn't a Lola, that no proper T860s were made. I realise the difference twixt an F2 and FAt was minimal by then, but for the sake of accuracy...
