Salvage Squad restoration of Lola SL142/36 and a surprise

Postby Reto Kuprecht » Sun Oct 03, 2010 11:12 am

I've heard of the "Salvage Squad" TV-series before but never saw that particular sequence, in which the team restores a T142. Now it's available on youtube, in 4 parts:

There are a couple of interesting scenes in it - particularly the one of Tony Lanfranchi, driving "my" SL142/20 (Nr. 58) at Brands Hatch!

And there was another surprise: When the Salvage team uncovers John Peskett's dark blue and orange car, I thought I had seen the "RCA" air scoop before. Digging through my stuff in the workshop I found it:

How did this piece end up in my shop? Because the bin of parts for my SL142/20 came from Mr. Stones - whom you can see driving his yellow SL142/21 - it's probable, that he got a pile of parts the Salvage Squad didn't need anymore, and added them to the chassis he sold me. There is also a rear engine cover in the same dark blue colour and an old radiator which I have, probably from the same car.
