History: Built in September of 1972 as the prototype T292. First raced at the Jarama Circuit in Spain at the end of the 1972 season. Raced in 1973 by Guy Edwards with Barclays International sponsorship as a Lola Works entry in the European 2.0 Liter Sports Car Championship with wins at Auvergne and Zeltweg and a 2nd place at Magny-Cours, which resulted in a third place in the championship. Edwards also raced the car at the FIA World Championship of Makes 1000 km races at Dijon, Spa, and the Nurburgring. This famous car was then sold to Martin Raymond whose Target Racing Team raced the car in the 1974 season at 1000 km races at Spa, Nurburgring, Paul Ricard and Brands Hatch. During the 1975 season it raced again at the 1000 km of Monza, Spa and the Nurburgring. The car was then sold to the USA where it raced in the under 2-Liter Can Am events at Mid Ohio, Mosport and Watkins Glen. With the car comes original Barclays International press releases announcing the backing of the Lola Works entry, period race photos, correspondence from Lola Cars and a list of all of the owners. 

Condition: Now professionally restored by marque experts, this car is beautifully turned out in Barclay's period livery. Powered by a low time, 2.0 liter Cosworth BDG on fuel injection rebuilt by VDS Engine Services. A low-time Hewland FG 5 speed gearbox. This car has excellent records for preparation, from engine build sheet to most recent crack check results on magnesium parts, brake and suspension rebuilds, etc. Was with 2-liter expert Dave Vegher of Veloce Motors in Petaluma. Most recently with Louie Shefchik of J & L Fabricating in Seattle. Two of the best shops!

Mazda-Lola T616
Chassis Number: H.U.2 (#68)

The Mazda-Lola T616 racecars made motorsports history in 1984 when they scored a 1st and 3rd class finish at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans with their Mazda rotary powered Lola. Mazda would become the first Japanese manufacturer to score a class win at Le Mans.

In a classic ''David vs Goliath'' matchup, the two lightweight Lola team cars, under the management of BF Goodrich/Jim Busby Racing, outlasted the other C2 competitors and defeated the more powerful competition. This monumental accomplishment was highlighted by the fact that both cars had run the grueling race on specially developed BF Goodrich Radial T/A street tires.

Car 68, driven by Americans John Morton and John O'Steen, with Japanese driver Hoshami Katayama, took first in class, while Car 67, piloted by American Jim Busby and Rick Knoop, and Dutchman Boy Hayje, placed third in class.

Throughout 1984, the T616 Lolas enjoyed success at the world's greatest race tracks. Before Le Mans, Car 67 claimed its own class victory at the 1,000 km race at Monza, driven by Jim Busby and Rick Knoop. After Le Mans, the cars traveled to the Nurburgring in July 1984, and Car 67 finished 2nd in class. In September, Car 67 finished 2nd in class at the Mount Fuji circuit in Japan, driven by Jim Busby and Pete Halsmer. Car 68 would finish 4th. The team nearly won the Group C2 Prototype class in the Sports Car World Championship that year, supported by both class wins and solid reliability they would come in a remarkable second in the points.

Thereafter both Lolas were sold to independent teams and were raced on-and-off until 1990. Both cars would lay quiet, and mostly forgotten for the next decade until Jim Busby and Rick Knoop reacquired the pair in 2003 and both cars were given comprehensive cosmetic restorations. In 2010 the cars' most recent owner, an avid vintage racer, gave both cars full, tub up, mechanical restorations.

Both cars are in perfect running condition, meet all FIA vintage racing specifications and because of their provenance are eligible for vintage racing worldwide. The cars have participated in many historic racing events, including the 2004 Road & Track U.S. Sports Car Invitational, the 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the Monterey Historics and Reunion races from 2004 onward.

Included in the sale is an extremely comprehensive spares list. This package includes, but is not limited to: 2 spare motors (including the original '84 race winning 13B), 2 sets of tires and wheels for each car, spare nose, tail, roof, and doors to be used as molds for more body parts, multiple gear sets for the Hewland transaxle, rotor casings, clutches, flywheels, A-arms, rings and pinions, rotors, hats, and calipers, CD ignition systems, gaskets and cv boots, and original paint samples. Furthermore there is memorabilia which includes an original Strand21 racing suit, 3 reproduction team shirts from 1984, numerous posters, prints, and brochures, and almost most importantly a still boxed 1:43 scale diecast model of the #68 BFG Mazda Lola T616.

About the Mazda-Lola T616
The Lolas are powered by naturally aspirated, fuel injected, twin-rotor, 9000rpm 1.3 liter Mazda 13B rotary engines with MSD ignition. Power is driven through Hewland 5 speed transaxles. Wheels are Gotti three-piece modular, 13x11 front and 13x14 rear. The brakes are AP calipers.

Both cars have new fire systems, as well as their original system, which are now for authenticity/display only. The cars are equipped with on-board air jacks for quick tire changes.

1962 LOLA T-70 SPYDER -   700+ Horsepower!  

This beautiful Lola T-70 Spyder was constructed by Lee Chapman Racing in New Milford, Connecticut using original front and rear fabricated steel bulkheads which John Bright found in California, while working in IMSA on a Lola T600 team.  The bulkheads were confirmed to be from a Lola T-70 Spyder MkIII, primarily because of the way they were constructed and the position of their suspension pickup points.

The bulkheads were repaired, restored and fitted to original specifications at Fox Racing Development in the UK.  New skins were cut from Bob Simpson’s patterns and the tub was assembled on Fox’s jig, true to original specifications.  New suspension components were fabricated, replicating the originals.  The tub and component parts were then shipped to Lee to be completed stateside for Pete Gulick, who had purchased the project the year before.

Peter Marcovicci Engineering of Long Island, built a new smallblock Chevy using all of the best quality parts available, a Daley dry-sump system, lightweight crank, rods and pistons, and Lucas Engine Kinsler-type mechanical fuel injection.  “Smallblock” is a deceptive characterization since the engine produces more than 700 BHP and massive torque.

The transmission is a new Hewland-style LG600 and new original uprights, steering, and driveline components were all fitted.

The body is a Lola T-70 MkII Spyder, primarily because it incorporates headlights whereas the MkIIIB does not.  Consequently, night enduros are now an option.

The final product was completed almost three years ago and, apart from one test session at Lime Rock last year, the car has remained in storage at LCR.  Right out of the box, the Lola recorded lap times in the 54 second range.

Although the car was derived from original components, there is no way to identify the original (VIN) since there were no obvious markings on the chassis parts.  Neither could the owner remember their history, which is often the case.

The car is exceptional and ready to race.  It will eat Cobras, Porsches and Corvettes for lunch; and despite the immense power to weight ratio, it is surprisingly easy to drive.  Alternatively, with minor adjustments this Spyder would make a great showing at your local Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning. Photo records of the early construction of the chassis in the UK as well as others of its completion here in the USA are available.  Call for more details. PRICE: $295,000.00
