Lola's two previous Formula Super Vee designs, the T250 and the T252, had been race winners but not championship contenders so, for 1973, a new car, the T320, was designed. It followed typical Lola practice with twin wishbones and outboard spring/damper units at the front and top link, reversed wishbones, a pair of radius rods and outboard spring/damper units at the rear.
The T320 was a front runner from the start and it won 18 major races with Freddy Kotulinsky winning the Formula Super Vee Gold Pokal and Elliott Forbes-Robinson took the SCCA Formula Super Vee Championship.
Year(s) of Construction: 1973
Total Built: 22
