84 Lola Update

[kuzlynn]

I have been doing a little tunnel work on the 84 Lola. I am using thin cardboard as my templates just to get an idea of what is going on back there. If anyone has any photos of the rear tunnel exits on the speedway version only, please let me know. Will keep you posted. Thanks Kevin

Not much visible in terms of speedway tunnels but will look around.

The part that burns me out the most with kit making, is the research of hard to see areas of the car.

That was part of the Mario Andretti Display at the IMS museum in 2019.

Yes Paul, Michael is correct and yes I have a few more photos.

Kevin, here are three photos I took at the Lola factory back in early 1984. They were working on road course cars at the time, but had just started up a speedway car and had received the bodywork from a contractor. Maybe they can be helpful.





Also, I took these at a display at Goodwood sometime in the 90's. Unfortunately the car was placed so that it was difficult to get behind it, but maybe they can be helpful anyway:






Also, you probably already know that the RM Sotheby's and Mecum websites have a good selection of photographs of the car, albeit in road course trim.
