Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Lola-Chevrolet T70, chassis SL70/1, boasts a rich racing history, having been driven by legends like John Surtees and Jackie Stewart.

The T70 was produced to compete in the International Group 7 class of 'anything goes' so-called' big-banger' sports car competition.
In effect this was Mr Broadley's gesture of liberation from the strait-jacket of Ford Advanced Vehicles and the steel-monocoque Ford GT programme to which he had been contracted through 1963-64.
There he had argued long and hard for the Ford GT to employ a largely aluminium-panelled lightweight monocoque chas...
