Description:

A very well prepared and setup Club Ford, it was last raced one year ago and won it's class.
Everything on the car is current for an SCCA annual inspection. The car looks better and is set up
better than most Club Fords. It is complete save for gearsets, a starter, and battery. Add these
and go racing.


History

Following the non-success of the T-440 Formula Ford, Lola debuted a new 540 (and 540E for Europe)
in 1977. One of the most popular Lola designs for the formula, it features a stiff and sturdy frame
(unique for Lola fords) and is one of the few narrow track designs which seemed to work on US slicks.
The narrow track gave it a low frontal area and excellent straight-line speed. The design remained
viable for four years until the 640 debuted in 1982.
