I am looking for information on the following cars ,i allready have a chassis no thread for these car see the chassis thread.

SL73/116 Listed as being shipped to Japan 25/5/1967 who to ?

SL73/119 Listed as sold to the USA 5/7/1967 possibly driven by Peter Revson?

A lot of the early cars are listed as being for John Mecom in the USA was he an importer of Lola cars to the US?

lola t 70 mk3

I found the sales catalog.

it is said :the car presenred was finished in spring 1967.

send to JAPAN the 26 of MAY with a classic V8 CHEVY.

after a succesfull racing life in JAPAN the car was bought by BILL HALL

at SHEFFIELD and completly restore.

it cost 120.000english pound on three years from 1992 to 1994.

nothing more about the history.

I think there was at least three or four LOLA T 70 3 in JAPAN

in the 60-70 ths.

some were engaged by the TAKI RACING TEAM.

driftwood has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Im afraid the info is all rather dubious on this car 116 is still in japan never left the country
how do i know?
well i have all the cars photos and the plate the owner has had the car 20 years and he bought it from the man who ha dit for 10-15 years who bought it from Taki team
the other Taki car was converted to Spyder format with different bodywork

When Bill Hall acquired the T70 he asked Starkey to trace the History and this is what he came up with !!

There is also a fake 116 car in usa bar painted in the wrong colours
The Japanese Taki team had 2 cars and 1 car wa swith another
2-3 cars came into Japan to do some races and left again
with out my notes to hand i cnat tell the facts but i have a book of the racing and i had listed all the cars and drivers from 67-70 and with the aid of a japanese man who took many fotos in that period

The car in the auction has wrong plate on it draw yr own conclusions !!!!!

???.You've lost me there 'drifty'. Just scroll down the page. There is a MkIII (111) and also a IIIb, which I have mentioned on the IIIb thread in the chassis archive.

This is my Lola T70 SL73/116, I purchased it through John Starkey in 2005 from Abba Kogan. The car came to me from the UK and previously resided in Japan. The Lola came w/ full documentation and FIA paperwork, car also has the original Lola chassis plate. www.kellysolympian.com/images/lola2.jpg

Many thanks for your post Jeff, at least we now where 116 is today.
I do a lot of family geneology and trying to find the where abouts of cars is far more difficult, than tracing people.

Pete

Jeff i do not believe your car is real 116 car that is still in Japan never ever left teh country i have done a lot of research into the T70 cars that raced in Japan
Taki racing had 2 new cars 1 is 116 coupe other was made into open top car with modified M8 Mclaren style body

do you have any paperwork to show car came form japan
i know 116 in japan still has its original import papers
