The Lola company was started by Eric Broadley in 1958.

The Lola T-200 Formula Ford has a short wheelbase (about 7 inches shorter than other Formula Fords) with a wide track which makes it fairly quick around corners. The seating position is 'lay-down' which allows the driver to stay clear of the airstream.

The short wheelbase T200 began production, with production leaving the Huntington, UK factory in January 1970. The T200 was followed by the T202 and T204 models in 1971/1972.

The first victory for the T200 came in the hands of Luis Bueno on February 22nd of 1970. The victory came during the 4th round of the BUA Brazil Formula Ford Championship.
