Lola T–70 Roadster Artwork
Artist Chris Phillips paints a portrait of John Surtees and his championship-winning T-70 Spyder.
Eric Broadley introduced his Lola T–70 roadster at the Racing Car Show in London, England in 1965. The car stunned the public and immediately joined that select pantheon of sports racing vehicles, like the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, Jaguar D-Type and Maserati 300S, to which one ascribes the epithet: exquisite. Built initially to satisfy the U.S. market for large-bore sports cars, the T–70 evolved over its history into a GT coupe variant that competed at the international F.I.A. level, running at such storied venues as Le Mans, Sebring, Rheims and Spa-Francorchamps.
