pistonbroke Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Lola Mk4 one of the few cars to get pole position on its first outing , one of Eric Broadly's best ! Team Yoeman Credit who entered 2 of the cars was (alegedly) the first fully sponsered F1 team . Climax engine sound was sweat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangi0 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Really enjoyed those photos. The Lola has a special meaning as in the 60s my father was Credit Controller with Yeoman Credit at the point they ran the racing team. They had Harry Schell (got killed), Roy Salvadori and then the rising star, John Surtees plus various others, team manager was Reg Parnell. At some point they became Bowmaker but I think they carried on for a while until the ugly face of Sponsorship really kicked in (although, ok, it was necessary, before someone jumps on me for saying that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Troy, the Coventry Climax engined cars, the Lotus and Lola are fantastic bits of kit which have become icons. Is it rude to ask who owns these cars or would than be confidential? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
