Description:


This Club Ford has only 4 hours since a complete restoration. It is certainly a contender
for the title of nicest Lola Club Ford in the country. The restoration work is detailed in the
technical specs below.


History

The 1976/77 Lola T-440 was built in response to America's request for "something more
technically advanced" according to Lola sales manager Mike Blanchet. It was based on the T-340
but featured long engine/gearbox spacers and a further forward center of gravity.
