Lola T70 Mk II Spyder
Ex A.J. Foyt - Ready to race

s/n: SL 71/35
year: 1966
engine: Chevy 350 c.i. (5.800 cc)

History:
SL 71/35 was purchased by Goodyear for A.J. Foyt, to be entered by John Mecom in the 1966 CanAm series. The original Chevy engine was replaced by a 4-cam Indy Ford engine supplied
free of charge by Ford.
A.J. Foyt raced the car at Riverside and Nassau in 1966, both times stopping early on with cooling problems. The car then sat in the Foyt workshop for many years, unused and was finally
sold. In 1987 the remaining parts and the original monocoque were purchased by Zicron Corp. of Chatsworth from Bob Rothan in Chino.

Mid-2006 John Hugenholtz bought the chassis and commissioned Zicron Corp. to restore the car to original 1966 specs. according to FIA Historic regulations.
The 2007 Monterey pre-Historics was the first time (as far as we know) since 1966 that this Lola entered a race and the first time it ever finished a race, now using a 350 ci Chevy engine. Last raced at the
2007 Goodwood Revival.
