This Lola T70 MK IIIb Coupe was built in Huntingdon, England, and was the last remaining of a final five car continuation run. It was purchased from Eric Broadley by Ted Gildred. It came as a rolling chassis without engine or transaxle. The car was shipped via air-freight to Los Angeles, California and brought to Gildreds race facilities in Solana Beach.
Gildred campaigned the car over the next two decades in numerous events such as Willow Springs, Sears Point, Riverside Raceway and Laguna Seca.
In the late 1990s, the engine was replaced with a Chevy power-plant that was rated at 650 bhp. The engine had been sourced and prepared by Fischer Engineering of North Carolina.
In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the 2010 Pebble Beach auction presented by Gooding & Company. The car was estimated to sell for $650,000 - $850,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $495,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2010
