The Lola T70 was produced between 1965 to 1969, conceived by Eric Broadley of Lola Cars and honed by John Surtees with the intention of manufacturing a V-8 race car to attract sales from the United States.

This Lola T70 Mk III, Chassis number SL73/111, was supplied to the Swedish driver Yngve Rosqvist on 2 June 1967.

Rosqvist would field the T70 in five Swedish races; winning two, finishing second in one, placing third in one, and being disqualified in another.

It would claim one last Swedish victory on 4 August 1968, driven by Per Brandström.

In 1968, the T70’s first American race was the SCCA National in Kent, Washington, with Ed Leslie behind the wheel.

The car would compete in three other SCCA races, failing to finish due to mechanical issues.

In 1972 the Lola was sold to Ron Southern and fielded in a three-hour endurance race at Laguna Seca, retiring due to losing the gearbox drain plug.

Later that year, Southern raced at a SCCA National Race, taking second place.
