I wonder if this is the same car local Pantera guy Jim Brokenshaw was working in the 80's. It was a Lola pre GT40 and he had a Colotti transaxle. Maybe there was more than one. Allen Grant was local for a time too, I met him at the Westwood reunion a few years ago.

I think there were several with the 289/Colloti combo.

Trevor Harris quote about what it was like to work for Broadley " some of his early engineering drawings were on the back of old quotes". IMO, the T-70s were some of the prettiest race cars ever built. Always loved the Cortina taillights in the Lola GT6, they look like they were made for it.
