History of a Lola T492 Sports 2000 chassis?

[911thillclimber]

The plot so far then is (9 Dec 08)

TD had 3 Skodas using 2 Lolas and (maybe) this Lola of mine is the third.

So:

Mr. X bought a T 490 from Lola Chassis # x in 1977.
Mr. X raced it for 2 years and sold it to TonyD for conversion to a 3rd Skoda Special.
Mr TD raced that special for ? years, and Harry Humberstone (might have) bought it from TD. Fibresport made a replica of Dr. Enderby's Ghia and John Scheneider/Tony Harman did some/all the work with the pink/black stripe/spoiler Ghia shell and the Lola with an 1800cc / big bhp cossie from an RS 200 no less.

The car did not race (or maybe raced once) in this form. Tony H told me it did not race but got stored in a Barn attic.(he thinks 'down south')

This is 1985/6/7

Then...Brian bought the car with KGhia shell as a roller off Harry Humberstone. Date unknown. It had the huge brakes as still on the car and the March F2 rear end.

The Lola/Ghia was bought by racer Mike in 2002 off Brian. The Kharmann Ghia shell was pink, but was painted white by Harry H. It had a Cossie engine/FT 200 box.
Mike added new T 492 shell/ rollcage and sold it to me in 2008 as a roller keeping the engine and re-built FT.
