Depends on your definition of cheap - but I think the answer to your question is 'Yes' - go back in this thread to last summer - we discussed it then.

Chuck Haines had no documentation?! That's not like Chuck. More likely the buyer lost what Chuck gave him.

Derek
Have you tried phoning Chuck? He has a file on every car he's had going back to about 1988 when he moved home. If he sold it on about ten years ago, you could well be lucky. Allen |

Derek
Do you know anything about T460 HU10 which seems to have sold a couple of times recently on race-cars.com and which is advertised as having been very lightly raced. Last known over in Conneticut. On HU6 was there anything on the car - e.g. scrute's stickers - that might give a clue to the history. Chris |

I have just acquired the Lola T760, which is about to undergo a full rebuild and should be out in the Derek Bell Trophy next season.
The info I have about the car indicates that in the early 1980's it ran in Libre races possibly with a BDG engine. Does anyone know if that is correct as I am considering sticking a BDG in the rear to make it a little more fun to drive. |

Re the T760, Alo L ran it in FAt here in '79, then gave up on it mid-year and went back to his T460. Strange as it looked quite good to start with, winning the first race of the 're-born' Atlantic that year, admittedly in the very wet. When the better cars/drivers came on stream that year though, it struggled, I don't think the ground effects were up to much at all...
After that it was sold to Geoff Byman who ran it in 1980-81, again in Atlantic, and again none too quickly, though I suppose 'respectably'. I don't recall it ever with a BDG though. It was noted on here some time ago that Jeremy Bouckley later owned the car, maybe he put a BDG in?? |

Hi Driftwood,
By the time I bought the chassis it had already been split from the engine and gearbox. The car had a 1500 BDA anyway which I didn't fancy. Give that the project is purely for my own enjoyment, I prefer the idea of putting in a BDG or even a Hart engine and an FT200 to give it a bit more power. The info I have about the car does indicate that in the early 80's it ran in libre with a BDG anyway. |

kickstart, I agree with Chris, and what I put earlier. I don't recall the car with a BDG in Libre at all, and my sad memory is usually good on these issues !!

for what it's worth.....
I just stumbled onto this thread...and read the whole thing. Some serious detail here.
At any rate I reckon I have snaps of most, if not all, of the 460s discussed here that ran in the US and Canada in the pro series. I even have, but haven't scanned, at least one or two of Wentz in Pierre's 460. What I have gotten on to my flickr account can be found in my Atlantic set..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/4668198...7623186773769/ Reality keeps getting in the way and I'm not getting to scan as much as I would like but I will eventually have a lot more of what I shot in the Atlantic series, |

update
In response to a request on a different forum I have been looking for T460 snaps.
As a result I figured I'd create a 460 set on flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/4668198...7631396124318/ There may be some I missed buried in my Formula Atlantic set which can be found on the page with all my sets..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/46681980@N03/sets/. |
