A rarity among sports cars!
The Lola T70 was produced from 1965 by the British manufacturer Lola Cars. In total, only 88 vehicles were produced, which makes the racing car a real collector’s item. You can race across your race track with the Lola T70 MKIIIb”No.55″, Nürburgring 1,000km 1969 from the Swiss racing team Scuderia Filipinetti and help the yellow speedster with start number 55 to victory.

The Lola T70 was developed as a two-seater racing sports car for the unlimited Group 7 sports car racing series in England and the USA. The coupé version, built from 1967, then also made it possible to use it in the World Championship of Brands. The Lola T70 is considered the most successful racing two-seater in England.
Sometimes these cars also appear at auctions. If a Ferrari is too boring for you, a Porsche too profane, you can try it – but the entry – so it is said – is quite difficult. Whether the Lola would receive a road permit again today, which it once had in Switzerland, can be described as questionable.

Historical slot car fun
The first variant was the Lola T70 Spyder. In 1966, the Lola T70 Mk II Spyder appeared, which was replaced in 1967 by the model Lola Mk III Spyder. John Surtees became world champion in the CanAm series on Lola in 1966, but the following year only one race could be won against the McLaren M6A-Chevrolet. The first closed car was the type Lola Mk III Coupé, which appeared in 1967; replaced by the type Mk IIIB Coupé which appeared in 1969 and was built until 1970. The racing car is equipped with front, rear and brake lights. The DIGITAL 124 car is digitally controllable and can also be individually coded.
