Brett in NZ.Well on the way towards finishing our Lola T330/HU6 and hope to have car running in October 2008.
The car was purchased by Haas/Hyams in January 1973.
Would like to find out more about Colin Hyams who raced the car first and then Trevor Twaites who took over from Colin..
Looking for history on these guys and maybe pictures of car so as to reconstruct the orginal paint and if any decals.

Thanks

Brett.

The Scrapbook pages of the Lola Heritage website contain an item covering some of Colin Hyams exploits with the car.

I met Colin at the Masters Festival at Brands Hatch earlier this year and he was in good form. He is still a racing enthusiast but does not compete or own a car these days. I believe he said he was living in Monaco - well wouldn't we all like to do that!

Hi Brett,

Glad to hear your car is nearing completion. Did you want the rear uprights? I hope you received my previous mails to you on the subject.

Graham,

At this stage no, I have two being sent to me.
I hope these uprights when they arrive will be ok.
And no I haven't recieved any other messages.
If the uprights don't work out I will be in contact.

Thanks.
