Comment from Portuguese race journalist: “The Lola T70 BRM "spyder" of Max Wilson appeared reconstructed and modified by his mechanic Paul Collier, after the accident that it suffered at the Nürburgring. The new front, about 5 cm lower than the original, was inspired by the one on the Lola T-163 Can Am. The car weighed 700 kg and had a BRM V-12 engine capable of producing 375 CV.”
