"I do not remember the chassis number. I could identify it by the previous owner body mods and chassis details. I have seen the reproduction bodies and chassis. What is the web address of the registry?"

"I have only memories...no parts. The Alfa engine was retained by the former owner who used it in a Lotus 23. The Alfa Romeo transmission I had for years and when I moved I gave it to a friend. Do you know of a Lola  MK1 registry?"

Lola Mk1 1960

Hi, I am looking for original wheels for my 1960 Lola Mk1 that I am restoring. They were made by "Cooper" and are 15x5". They were also used on other cars of that period like Lotus, Elva, Cooper, and others from the late 1950's and thru 1965. They have a Triumph Tr-3 bolt pattern. The front rims actually have the hubs as part of the rim. (all one unit).  They back rims did not have this. I am missing the easier of the two, (the back rims).  Chuck 262-654-4543…See More

Your car has a roll bar that appears of smaller diameter tube than the one that was added to my MK1. I did not see any names in the registry that I recognized. As I sold the car in 1973 it is unlikely it is still owned by the same person.

The MK1 I had owned in the early 1970's was purchased from an SCCA member in New Jersey USA after he crashed it. I sold it to a collector also from New Jersey. It had a modified front body section. Flared fenders with a "lip" added. Chaparel looking. It was missing one "pontoon" as that was destroyed when the car was crashed. It had been modified to accept an Alfa Romeo 4 cyl twin cam and 5 speed transmission. The purchaser did not want the tranny. The engine had not been included with the car. I would love to see it now!

I owned a Lola MK1 in the early 1970's. Sold it before completion for 350 dollars! It had been wrecked but was not that bad. My inexperience in fabrication and zero money doomed that project. I would like to see photos of your car. Do you know its history? Thiose wheels were magnesium. So are the rear uprights.
