That is Peter Gethin in the Church Farm Racing McLaren. Church Farm was part of Derek Bell's family estate and the team operated out of a barn/workshop there at Pagham near to Bognor Regis, Sussex.

F5000 Lola T142s of Mike Walker and Doug Hardwick with Steve Thompson's F2 lola - F.Libre Silverstone 1969.

Here's one in action last weekend at Queensland Raceway here in Australia. - Robert Harborow’s Lola T192 F5000 car is the first such example built (the T192 is the long wheel base model of the T190). The car was sorted out by Frank Gardner, and advised one Roger Penske that it was a good car. Penske purchased the car, and first time out in the hands of his gun driver, Mark Donohue, the car won. Despite only starting three races in 1970, Donohue finished third in the American Formula A Championship. Brett Lunger then used the car to finish third in the championship the following season. The car then went through some hands, before winding up in Western Australia from 1983 to 1989, when Harborow purchased the car, and restored it from 1994-1996.

Not so! He did win one race, but was certainly not third in the championship. Lunger was in 1971 though, as you say.
Incidentally, the ex-Penske/Donohue ex-Lunger car was advertised for sale in the USA about ten years ago. Are you sure you've got the right one?

Apparently so, the guy had a heap of stories, log books etc, and a mate of mine when and photocopied them all- I'll see if he derived the same info from it I did.

Thanks for pulling me up on that
