A lovely example of Eric Broadley's first 2-litre design.
Created by British designer Eric Broadley during more than four decades at the helm of Lola Cars, the T212 was a very successful sports car and went on to win races at all sorts of venues and international 'Blue Riband' events.
In 1958, with the help of his cousin, Graham Broadley, Eric built a sports-racing car, powered by a Coventry Climax engine, around a tubular steel space frame chassis of his own design.
The creation was immediately quick and in 1959 it proved itself to be a serious rival to the, previously unbeatable, Lotus Eleven.
Following a crash at Goodwood that resulted in a trip to hospital, Broadley then made the decision that his future lay in the design and fabrication of racing cars, rather than driving them.
The Lola T212 offered here was constructed in 1971 and designed for 2-litre sports car, 'Group 6' competition.
This car is Chassis number HU37 and was the very last 212 built by Lola (1 of 36).
