Jeremy Jackson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Martin already has pages listing chassis on his site (http://wsrp.wz.cz/), list chassis with original & subsequent owners.

See link at upper right of his main page. if you go to Lola Sports, all the T210, T29x cars are listed there already, so I sggest he would be grateful for any newly identifued chassis.

Hallo Alain,
Yes, I agree with you dates for my Lola T290. I do not look to the plate of Mr. Blatons car, I was busy with my car (a B8).

I own this book ,I had good feeling to read it but I greatly regretted the lake of race numbers and chassis numbers .
For myself I own some chassis numbers entered in 1972 from french magasine Sport Auto .
I can try to contact the autor.....
Mr Fox : you entered a T290 in the Le Mans Classic 2002 , was it HU017 ?
best regards for all

Remarkably my brother has just met a chap from Newbridge Motorsport, who, quite independently of this thread, says he looks after T290-HU17. He also says its an ex JoBo/Blaton car, and apparently was on pole for the 2004 LeMans Classic.

Ain't it a small world...

driftwood has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
yes newbridge are looking after 290 car i thought they where doing a later car in the 20`s- spoke with the boys at a test day earlier in the year also mentioned another car needing rebuild that lived near them
i sat reading my sports car book last night at 2 am and yes Mr Hache you ar eright about lack of race numbers and info - i sat looking at race results the fotos quailifying grid slot to see the cars over the years in the livery to work out a few cars/drivers /livery
at the rear of book are some credits

i would like to see more fotos of cars in the period
any ideas where to look -yes im a lazy toad to troll thru the web but i do go straight to anything u boys mention ( where`s the porn? ) AS doesnt have colour pics of the day
As Mr Fox has said he can assist with chassis nos and im sure the march 73 74s # are easy to sort out as it appears aprox 4 cars ran in the 2 litre era and im sure the Bolton brigade can dig out chevron # leaving only small marques like AMS GRD etc to be sourced

and we do know that there are some replica cars out there than can soon be dismissed from a list and with the french and italian readers of the site im sure the 2 litre list will come together swiftly
i am willing to contribute the wine or beer
Mr Brown will consume whilst sorting thru the info !!
anyone for the peanuts?

Bit odd... the address is correct but doesn't work if you click on the link from here. Try copying & pasting this address into your browser and it should be OK.

It's because the ')' is not supposed to be part of the address. Try http://wsrp.wz.cz/ and specifically http://wsrp.wz.cz/mesport.html

There are some pictures on this site: http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo.html

Whoops... Didn't notice the bracket. Sorry about that.

My original post was intending to highlight Martin's chassis listings at:

READING THE ARTICLE IT READS -THE 380 WAS A NEW CAR WITH RISING RATE SUSPENSION -BUT THE BODY IS 286 IN ITS SHAPE MAYBE WE HAVE SOME OF THESE CARS MIXING UP THE 280-86 CARS ESPECIALLY IN THE USA WHERE WE ARE MISSING SOME ID TAGS
LOLA ALSO RAN 390 SERIES CAR LOOKING LIKE A 296 IN BODY SHAPE

Lola T280 / T380

Just to be clear the Starkey book is not correct!

It shows a picture of the T286 as a T380.

The T380 has its own body which is similar to the T390.

The T380 was a totally different car in every way so i do not think there is any mix up of the two types.

I know Mr Starkey did not proof read his book very well hence yr comments on fotos
i thought the 380 390 body was completly different to the 286 294 shape
Fison cars was for sale on yr site once ( or was it Belga livery car) it was an ugly shape compared to the 286/294 style
De Cadanet ran 1 car at le man and Raymond had the Fisons car

All of the pictures in the "LOLA ILLLUSTRATED HISTORY" OF THE T380 are actually of the T286 inc ther picture of the suspension.
and the picture of the T390 is a picture of the T298.

The T390 series cars were totally different to the T290/2/4/6/8 and were not a development at all in fact the car (T380 /T390) was a bit of a diasaster.

Guys, I agree that Starkey's book is flawed but can we keep the criticism constructive, please.

Sorry chaps, but I maintain the book was NOT good. I presume he had access to a lot of decent info, and as an established writer, I'd have expected much better from both Lola books. They weren't cheap after all !

Dan, that wasn't the problem; it was how it was initially expressed that was at issue. In fact, I agree with you, as expressed in your latest post, here!

Speaking about unusual transformations of the T28x chassis, does anyone have any detail about a car called ACR80-ACR80B -number 1- present in Le Mans 1980 driven by Chevalley ?

Shame I'm discovering this thread just right now, I might have been of any help. Anyway glad to see that my assumptions aren't that far from what you guys have already achieved.

Would anyone follow if I ever start one on the T380-T390-De Cadenet ? Here i'm totally lost and as you've have noticed it before, Stackey book is more than elusive or wrong on that matter

The ACR also raced at Silverstone and at Lemans in 81. Have some photos of them on my web page.
It was a pretty looking car with closed in rear wheels.

There is an article in the race program from the 6 hour silverstone 80 or 81 about the car I think.
