1970 Lola T210
Lola T210 chassis SL210-07, one of only 16 examples constructed, was built in 1970 as part of Eric Broadley's response to the new Sports 2-Litre Championship. Raced initially by the German BG Racing Team with Willy Kauhsen, it later achieved its first outright win under Gérard Larrousse at Paul Ricard in 1972. After passing through several owners including Swiss team principal George Foitek and long-term custodian Peter Bloore, the car underwent a comprehensive rebuild and was campaigned successfully in Masters and CER1 events, including a victory at Paul Ricard in 2017.
