Lola T70 Mk3B - BONGRIP

One of 16 B Spec T70s, Jo Bonniers Ecurie Bonnier purchased this Lola T70 Mk3B (Ch# SL76/143) in 1969 to replace the T70 they had been campaigning the past two seasons. Bonnier partnered with Scuderia Filipinetti in World Sportscar Championship races, co-driving with Herbert Muller and the pair drove in those races under the Filipinetti banner. At the Nurburgring 1000 Km, the pair qualified 9th overall and 1st in class, but exited on Lap 23 of the 44 lap race with drive shaft failure. The pair took a class win at Spa and Bonnier a win at Paris and several 2nds in the British Sportscar Championship. Raced through 1970, with the 5.0L Group 4 ending, the car was sold, and it was converted to a spider for a couple of the Interesrie races before ending up in a Welsh barn for 40 years. It is now restored.

One of the four versions of the Lolat T70 Mk3B handbuilt by Historic Replicars, also available in kit form.
