Chassis: 'HU5'
After the initial batch of four cars, Lola is understood to have produced a fifth chassis to replace HU02 after its horrendous crash at Le Mans. It was raced late in 1972 by Ecurie Bonnier in Gitanes colours, scoring a win in the 1000 km of Paris race at Montlhery. Jean-Louis Lafosse subsequently crashed the car heavily at Kyalami. The car was written off but many years later it was resurrected by Chris Fox around a newly built honeycomb aluminium monocoque. Sporting later T282 bodywork, it is seen here in action during the Silverstone round of the 2007 Classic Endurance Racing (CER) championship.
