At 9:25am on September 28, 2011, Robert Seligman said…: 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?

At 6:55am on September 28, 2011, Robert Seligman said…: 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!

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.
