De Cadenet Lolas

[driftwood]

I take your point however LM 1234 does make sense and have they not been referred to these alongthe way?
calling the cars T380 hu1 the adc 77 adc 78 etc is misleading especially when
LM2 is entered later as Lola t286 lm3 is entered as SG lola etc
and even De cad & ACO where changing the names

im confident that we could call cars LM1234 and with the cars references alongside we will know what the car was in a given year ie LM3 is 1 car =ADC77/1 SG Lola or SG lola 381 is same car
LM1 is the BT33 based car
LM2 is T380 car cum T286
LM3 is ADC 77/1 cum SG Lola/SG Lola T381
LM4 is ADC 78/1 cum GLC 913
I think most guys would be happy to follow cars as De Cadenet LM1-4 as it cuts out the messy later owners titles that skew the cars true ID
you said
If we use LM2, LM3 and LM4, we are making the assumption that there was no car in between the 77 and the 78. i think thats fair to say its true no cars crashed to write off stateWhat if one day we find that there was? ok assume 1 car is badly crashed we could call it say LM3-2Maybe due to an accident to the original 77 car? Would we call it LM3-and-a-half? If these numbers were used by the team, officially or even informally, then they'd be fine to use. But I don't see that they were.
