3 37 Forge Road, Spartan, Kempton Park. Tel DAW T70 Mk III B A history The Lola T70 was built for sports car racing, popular in the mid to late 1960s. Developed by Lola Cars in 1965 in Great Britain, the T70 was made for endurance racing. In 1966, the open-cockpit Mk II version with a Chevrolet V8 engine was an entry in the CanAm series, winning five of six races during the year. In 1967, the T70 raced again but only won one race, outpowered by the newer McLaren made cars. Despite its short-lived success in the CanAm series, the T70 was quite popular, with more than 100 examples of the vehicle being built in 3 versions. The first version, besides the original factory car, was the open -roofed Mk II, joined by the Coupé-version Mk III, and a slightly updated version, the Mk IIIB. The T70 was replaced in the CanAm by its lighter, stronger predecessor, the Lola T160 When the FIA changed the rules for sports car racing that came in effect for 1968, limiting the engine size of prototypes to 3 liter, an exemption was made: sportscars with 5000cc engines were allowed, if at least 50 were made. This rule allowed the popular yet slightly outdated Ford GT40 and Lola T70s to continue racing. Yet, instead of being only cannon-fodder to a few factory-built prototypes, the Fords won again twice at Le Mans, while Lola took the Hours of Daytona. When the minimum number was lowered to 25 for 1969, the new Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 were homologated at five litres, and outclassed the older Lolas and Fords The T70's Chevrolet engine tended to suffer reliability problems when racing in Europe, in part due to the grade of fuel allowed. When forced to run on commercially available "pump fuel", with a lower octane rating than the "Avgas" permitted under American rules, engine failures were common. In modern historic racing those same engines show much improved reliability due to a number of factors: in modern historic racing engines tend to be detuned slightly, quality control tends to be much higher, and fuel quality far better than the historically poor fuel supplied by the ACO when these cars raced in the 1960s. An Aston Martin engined coupe bodied T70 was entered by Lola at Le Mans in 1967, but even with drivers such as John Surtees, the car failed to deliver. The Aston Martin V8 engine failed after short runs, characterised by poor power and overheating, problems that were found to be due to a lack of development. In turn, the lack of development was attributed to an overly tight budget. During the filming of Steve McQueen's "Le Mans", Lola chassis were sacrificed, disguised with bodywork of the Porsche and Ferrari that starred in the film. T70s also appear, albeit modified, in George Lucas' first commercial film, THX-1138.

5 37 Forge Road, Spartan, Kempton Park. Tel DAW T70 Mk II spyder A history To compete in the American series such as the USRRC and SCCA Can-Am races, Eric Broadley designed the Lola T70 Spyder. It was an extension of the Group 9 race cars that had already competed against opposition from Lotus and McLaren. The first Spyder was shown at the London Racing Car Show in January of It used a monocoque steel chassis with a plastic body. The engine was directly attached to the large side-members and the rear interior bulkhead formed the back of the driver's seat. Using their own bellhousing the Hewland four-speed transaxle was initially used. In the nose was room for the pedal box, twin radiators and spare front tire. Braking was provided completely inboard by discs that were stopped with Girling calipers.

The first Porsche 356 was debuted on June 8, 1948, using many Volkswagen parts for manufacturing economy. However, Porsche quickly refined the car with a focus on performance, so that by the late 50's few parts were shared in common between the two marquees and it became the Swiss watch of automotive design. The 356 has always been quite popular with the motor press, and in 2004 Sports Car International ranked the 356C tenth on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. The 356 Replica Every Effort has been taken to replicate the quality and finish of the Original Speedster. The Universal 356 Replica is based on a shortened VW Beetle Floor pan. We also move the hand brake and gearlever to give a move comfortable ride and give more clearance between the steering wheel and gear lever.the Body is bonded onto a Steel tubular sub frame that improves safety and increase torsion rigidity of the vehicle.

10 Page 10 To Order Call: RSK 718 Replica The RSK (Type 718) was the successor to the famous "James Dean" 550A 1500RS Spyder. Only 33 were built in 1958/9. Its internal name is RSK 718/1500. The "RS" meaning "RennSport", the "K" denoting the suspension, the "718" is the chassis type, and "1500" is the engine size in cc. It was prepared for Formula 2 racing. This particular car could reach 155 mph on the track. Also produced was a 718 Bergspyder, a special version made to compete (and win) hill climbs (hence the name "Bergspyder"). Other developments include: The 1.5 L engine was increased in size to 1.6 litres', and produced 148hp RS60. The car was heavily redesigned and badged RS60. Its wheelbase was now 100mm longer and it carried larger wheels and tires. 12 of these were built, 4 of which stayed with the factory. From Le Mans to Sebring, the Porsche 718 dominated the racing world throughout the fifties and early sixties. This legendary car was driven by the heroes of the day; Sterling Moss, Jean Behra, Von Trips, Ken Miles, Dan Gurney, to name a few. These cars were winning races throughout their years, even when up against the larger 3-liter Ferraris! RSK/RS60 racers won the Targa Florio Almost looking like a streamliner ready to conquer the Bonneville salt flats, there are few cars of such dramatic proportions, even fewer outside a race track. Drive a polished-aluminium Lotus 11, a Lola T70 or Porsche 917 Long tail on the highway, the impression couldn't be more striking!

12 Page 12 To Order Call: Millennium 7 Based on the famous Lotus 7, which in a 50-year period has spawned over 90 different clones, replicas and derivatives, the Millennium 7 is a modern day take on the classic Colin Chapman design. Designed and built, right here in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, by local car enthusiasts Chris Carstens and Kobus Van der Walt, this lightweight performance car overwrites old-world simplicity with 21st century innovation. Building the Millennium 7 incorporates many aircraft construction techniques. The chassis, for example, is constructed of cold rolled CR 12 stainless steel and TIG welded (Tungsten Inert Gas) with an aircraft coded welder, and the use of stressed panels and specific lightening techniques demonstrates the stringent requirements that these cars have to meet. Customers can specify a wide choice of engines, but the car s set up has been built around the legendary Toyota 4A-GE unit in all its variants and four-cylinder Ford Zetec power plants. Given the Millennium 7 s low kerb weight and frill-free design, it is fair to expect suitably rapid performance irrespective of the power plant the customer see fit to install.

14 Page 14 To Order Call: Dino 246 The name "Dino" honors the founder's late son, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, who was credited with the design of the V6 engine. Along with famed engineer,vittorio Jano influenced Enzo Ferrari's decision to produce a line of racing cars in the 1950s, with V6 and V8 engine designs. History shows that Alfredo Ferrari did not have a hand in the actual design of the V6 motor that made its way into the Dino. The "Dino" brand was created to market a lower priced, "affordable" sports car. The first brochure described the Dino as "almost a Ferrari". Ferrari intended to do battle in the marketplace with Porsche and its 911. The more expensive road going Ferrari V12's of the time were no match at their much higher price point. But Enzo did not want to diminish the Ferrari brand with a cheaper car, and so "Dino" was born In Keeping with this famous heritage Universal Products has produced a fabulous recreation of the Dino. The car was in developed with the local market in mind and can accept a V6 or a 4 cylinder motor. The engine is transversally mounted in order to accommodate the later generation engine and gearbox combination
