Lola Mk 2

1960 Lola Mk 2 – Chassis #BRJ3
Fitzwilliam Racing car for 1959 / 1960 / 1961. One of three successful team cars.
Cambridge Racing car from 1961 until late 1962.
Purchased by Phil Kerr (Brabham mechanic), exported to New Zealand where it competed in the 1963 New Zealand Grand Prix finishing in 4th place. (Reference “Historic Racing Cars of New Zealand” by Vercoe).
Vehicle was then sold to Ken Smith (Morrie Smith was Ken’s father) and Morrie competed in the 1964 New Zealand Grand Prix. DNF due to engine failure.
Dennis Simonds was next to own the vehicle, purchasing it in 1965.
Spinner Black was the next owner, and it is believed he raced it as some kind of a sports car by suspending additional body work along the sides of the vehicle between the front and rea wheels (very resourceful those Kiwi’s).
Mike Ross took charge of the vehicle sometime in the 1970s before being sold back to Ken Smith in the mid-1970s. The car stayed here until it was sold to Matt Carroll in 1978.
Matt Carroll of Australia purchased the car in 1978. Matt Carroll competed regularly in this car in Australia since 1980 and the vehicle was issued an Australian CAMS Log Book since 1980.
Ned Spieker purchased the car from Robert Hands (Australia) in 2003.
Ned raced this vehicle many times including Monaco in 2004 & 2006, and Goodwood in 2004 with a podium finish.
Valid HTP until 31/12/2025

Lotus 22

The car was bought in 2000 by Kevin Whittle from a seller in Germany where it had been advertised as a Lotus 61. Kevin soon realised it was not a Lotus 61 chassis. Peter Denty and Alan Putt confirmed it was in fact a Lotus 22 chassis that had been modified to take Lotus 61 components and bodywork. Correspondence relating to this is included in the documents file.
Kevin Whittle subsequently had the car rebuilt to Lotus 22 specs and FIA papers issued for it.
It went through a couple of further hands before I bought it from an auction house in October 2022 and soon realised it required a major rebuild.
James Denty completely stripped the chassis, installed a roll over bar to the latest specification, re powder coated the chassis and refurbished/replaced all components. Sliding spline driveshafts have been fitted in place of doughnuts as now allowed by the FIA. The bodywork was repaired and repainted.
Engine fully rebuilt by Jeremy Bennett at Nemesis Racing including a new Richardson cylinder head, new pistons, con rods, valve train etc.
Hewland 5 speed gear box fully rebuilt by Tony Wilson including a new crown wheel and pinion amongst the many other new parts required.
On completion James Denty gave the car a shakedown at Snetterton in early November 2024.
The car is in the process of having new FIA papers applied for.
All bills for purchase and rebuild included in the document file as are the bills for previous works.
Further details and photographs available on request.
Asking for £100,000 or vno which would just about cover the costs incurred in the purchase and rebuild of the car
