As an accompaniment to this month’s cover feature, and for readers wanting to learn more about the history of Lola Cars, the British racing car constructor that celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, we direct you to www.lolaheritage.co.uk. Mindful of that history, the company maintains the site “dedicated to Lola owners and Historic motor sport,” where visitors can avail themselves of all kinds of historic Lola offerings and information. Lola hails the site as “a treasure trove of things Lola and a place for the owners of Lola cars to tell their stories,” and we see no reason to doubt the claim.
Apart from a regularly updated “Latest News” section, the home page offers links to the Lola Story and the Chassis Register, as well as a log of type numbers and a list of the many drivers who’ve wheeled Lolas, from Michele Alboreto and Mario Andretti to the Unser boys and Rodger Ward.
There’s also a section devoted to the Continuation T70 project, a Lola forum where registered members can chat and tell their own Lola stories, and a “For Sale” section for anyone interested in perusing a selection of previously owned Lolas. Check it out.
