Lola chassic Log: Coupe - Ryan Falconer Chevrolet engine No: RAF 16 - Blue and yellow bodywork - Gearbox No: LG600-79.

Sold to Ulf Norinder’s Sportscars Unlimited Team, SL73/132, won a heat race at Hockenheim early on in it’s career and Paul Hawkins drove it to a third place at Oulton Park in August. At Brands Hatch in September, Norinder scored a second place, showing that both he and 132 were a fast combination.

It would appear that 132 was not raced in 1969 and this may be due to the fact that Norinder had bought a new Mark 111b coupe, SL76/141.

In 1970, 132 was used in the film “Le Mans”, and crashed.

The T70 passed to Franco Sbarro, who later on sold the remains to Mac McClendon. In 2013, Mac rebuilt the coupe and sold it to Toni Seiler of Switzerland.
