Sports 2000 - 1978

[bob k.]

Thanks Nordic, this will send me searching in new directions. Are you able to scan and forward the programs you refer to?

In support of the long distance theory, I noticed that the fuel bladder in the car is dated 1980 and is fully occupying the cavity behind the cockpit, Is this a normal sized fuel bladder for these cars? I would have thought that a sprinter would only require a smaller bladder.

Does anyone have images of the TDC car Nordic refers to?

cheers bob k.

ID/serial number on car: 180
The car raced in the California area in the early ninties and I've been told it was a winning car

If anyone can help me on either some race results from preferable before the end of 1986 or how I can reach the place where the Tiga cars were built or even someone may know if and when the log book was issued.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Ray Cleaver. Sydney, Australia.

Tiga Cars were Tim Schenken and Howden Ganley in a factory in High Wycombe Buckinghamshire. They went in to Bankruptcy around 1990 and all the assets tooling parts etc were bought by Roger Andreason and moved to his factory in Winchester Hampshire

Does anyone know how many Lola T490s still exist today in original spec. I believe only 10 were made and "most" updated to 492 specs. If T490s still exist today, where are they and which chassis numbers are they? Have you seen any being raced in the last few years? My chassis HU4 is updated to 492 specs.
