Lola GT - The DNA of the Ford Gt40

This is the story of Lola Cars Ltd and its groundbreaking Lola GT Mk 6 of 1963 - the car that inspired the Ford Motor Company to design the all-conquering Ford GT40.
Lola Cars International Ltd, was founded, by Eric Broadley in Bromley, UK, in 1959. Created to build sell and race cars, Lola's first racing sports car, built in 1956 by Eric and his cousin Graham, was a 750 cc Ford-powered Austin 7 Special (the 'Broadley Special'), and was to become the first of a number of specials created over the following years.

The introduction of new FIA rules in 1962 led Eric to design the GT Mk 6 to specifically meet the regulations. The minimal, engineless prototype displayed at BRSCC's Racing Car Show in January 1963, was far from a working version, taking 52 hours to get ready, and arriving at the show two days late. But, with many admiring glances and glowing comments, it soon became the star of the show.

While only three Lola GT Mk 6 were ever built, the huge significance of the role of Lola and the GT Mk 6 in racing history, and to the Ford GT40 in particular, cannot be underestimated. The GT was a revolutionary car, a rear-engined GT racing car with some of the best technology of the time - and it was immensely quick.
