Lola T70 Spyder

This car took part in the Pre-1972 Le Mans Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.
It's the Lola T70 Spyder of Colin Parry-Williams which appears to be the ex-Mecom car, chassis SL70/13, and which the programme of the event says is a 1966 car and has a 5,000cc engine. On 7 August 2017 I showed a photograph of this car that I'd taken at Silverstone in 2001 where it had a 5,700cc Chevrolet engine and was said to be a 1965 car.

Lola T70 Spyder

This car took part in the 1960s World Endurance Cars Italy v Rest of the World race at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.
It's Colin Parry-Williams' car, listed in the programme of the event as a 1965 Lola-Chevrolet T70 Spyder with a 5,700cc engine. It appears to be the ex-John Mecom Racing chassis SL70/13, originally fitted with a 4.7 litre Ford V8 engine. The car later passed through various hands before being bought by Colin Parry-Williams in 1981, being restored and fitted with the Chevrolet engine in 1997.

I showed photographs of two other Lola T70 Spyders on 24 April 2016 and 12 March 2017.
