With an Invoice date from the Lola factory of 15th April 1969 SL38 was sold to Canadian Horst Kroll. It is possible that it may have raced in the UK at the start of 1969 but this is not certain.
Once shipped to Canada SL38 had its first race at Mosport Park on the 18th May for the first round of the Canadian Road Racing Championship where it finished fifth. During the course of a busy 1969 season SL38 competed in nine races in Canada scoring 5 second places as well as eight races in the USA with a best finish of 4th at Sebring in December.
SL38 continued to race in Canada during 1970 competing in 5 races and taking one win in the Canadian Road Racing Championship at Harewood Acres in August.
1970 and 1971 saw Kroll racing SL38 in the US as Canada abandoned F5000. 1970 saw 8 races with a best finish of 7th and 1971, 8 starts with a best finish of 6th.
Kroll retained SL38 until it was sold to Aldo Bigioni 1980, in good but unrestored condition. It was then sold to Dick Baker in July 1987; restored in 1993/94.
