1981 Lola T-590 Sports 2000 - SOLD

This is now SOLD. Search for similar items.

Description:


A remarkably original and unmolested car, it was spared the usual late-in-life career
in Regional racing and went directly from a National campaign to an autocross career.
The current owner has attempted
to bring the car back into road racing trim.
It only needs the (repaired) fuel cell reinstalled.
Car currently has an aluminum fuel tank in place
of the fuel cell. The owner is reluctantly selling due to a
baby on the way.


History

Lola T-590 # 27 of only 46 T-590s built,
