Graham Earl has owned T290 HU18 since he bought it in Italy about 6 or 7 years ago.
The car was originally supplied to the European Lola agent Jo Bonnier and it was then sold to Italy. Modifications to the rear of the car show that at some stage it was fitted with an Abarth engine (several T290s in Italy were Abarth-powered) but at the moment there are no other details of its history and Graham is keen to find out more.
HU18 is currently in pieces undergoing a complete restoration and should be back on the tracks looking better than ever.
If you have any more information on the history of HU18 please contact the webmaster, gerald.swan@lola-cars.co.uk.
