That&#8217;s because Eric Broadley was watching the first GT40 win at Le Mans in 1967 and he was involved car since its inception. Like the GT40, the T70 Coup\u00e9 used a mid-mounted American V8 in a thoroughly European chassis. Unfortunately the model was up against The Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512M which were in another league.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Aerodynamicist Tony Southgate was responsible for the new sleek body which was much more efficient than the GT40 and the T70 could reach a top speed of 200 mph on the Mulsanne straight. This new Coup\u00e9 body was made to follow Group 4 regulations which required minimum production of 50 cars and Lola nearly had produced enough Mk1 and Mk2 cars to homologate the Chevrolet-powered version.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the T70 Coup\u00e9 wasn&#8217;t much of a success on the track. It&#8217;s only factory-backed outing at Le Mans had Surtees and David Hobbs at the wheel, but the newly developed Aston Martin V8 could only last 25 laps. Later an updated version called the Mk3B was raced by Penske Racing and won the 1969 Daytona 24-hour outright.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1967\u21921969 Lola T70 Mk3 Coup\u00e9\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536-770x519.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536-293x197.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-0-1536-1400x943.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1967\u21921969 Lola T70 Mk3 Coup\u00e9\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536-770x521.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536-293x198.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1967_Lola_T70Mk3Coup-1-1536-1400x948.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">tags<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Search2?INPUT=canam&amp;searchType=cars\">canam<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">submitted by<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/garage\/72036\/index.html\">Richard Owen<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Racing Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">production years<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1967 &#8211;

Briggs and Snow held onto the car until 1971, when it was sold to San Jose Competition Motors in California.<\/p>\n<p>The car was eventually sold to Ron Southern in 1972, who campaigned the Lola in a number of Sports Car Club of America races before selling it to Gary Eastern. Eastern kept the car only briefly before selling it to William Otto.<\/p>\n<p>Otto\u2019s stewardship lasted 12 years before he finally sold the car to Barry Blackmore, who promptly dealt it to Bob Lee. Lee kept the car until 1989, then sold it to Monty Shallet, who gave the veteran Lola some exercise in historic racing events. Most notable under this heading was an appearance in the 1989 GT40 reunion race at Watkins Glen, New York, where the T70 finished a glorious first with Shallet at the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Following Shallet\u2019s achievement, the T70 resumed its restless itinerary. Tony Podell took possession in 1990 and kept the car until 1996, when it was purchased by George Stauffer. The car had worn Mk 3B bodywork for many years, and during this period, it was restored to its original Mk 3 configuration.<\/p>\n<p>The T70 entered the new century with yet another set of new owners, Susan Dixon and Keith Goring, who campaigned in vintage events before selling the car to its current owner who commissioned a full restoration which is documented in a file of photos. The engine has been checked and meticulously reassembled by the owner\u2019s personal mechanic.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s powered today by a 5.8-litre Chevrolet V8, fed by four Weber carburettors and rated for 560 horsepower. Power flows to the rear wheels through a five-speed Hewland LG 400 gearbox. Suspension is straightforward racing practice \u2013 double A-arms front and rear, with coil-over adjustable shock absorbers. The Girling disc brake system entails four 12-inch vented rotors, with power four-piston callipers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2232\/1.html\">2009 RM Auctions&#8217; Automobiles of London<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1967\u21921969 Lola T70 Mk3 Coup\u00e9 Based on Lola&#8217;s potent Can-Am challenger, the T70 Mk3 Coup\u00e9 could be seen as GT40 replacement.

That&#8217;s because Eric Broadley was watching the first GT40 win at Le Mans in 1967 and he was involved car since its inception. Like the GT40, the T70 Coup\u00e9 used a mid-mounted American V8 in a thoroughly European chassis.
