Uphill Racers: The History of British Speed Hill Climbing

Product Information

Ideal for the HSCC and Peter Auto F2 championships and the Derek Bell series, the Chevron would also be very competitive in Classic Hillclimbs. I also have the original long range fuel tanks, but of course I doubt you will be able to use them today as they are fiberglass. Maniflow exhaust manifold and custom made 2 and 1/4 inch bore exhaust system silencer across the rear of the car. It has a long and very successful history including a few ‘guest’ drives, notably Alex Summers setting a 39. The rolling chassis package includes all engine ancillaries – manifold, silencer, new Brise geared starter, plumbing, Red Top 30 battery, etc.

The oldest Lola T492 on the UK Lola Register is now for sale after a full engine and chassis rebuild by Sports 2000 specialist Andy Cattani. Currently fitted with a 12 litre custom made fuel tank but with the standard race tank also included, together with a fuel churn for refuelling. Hillclimbs in continental Europe are usually held on courses which are several kilometres long, taking advantage of the available hills and mountains including the Alps. Hill climbing has been part of British motorsport since the early days, with many famous drivers, including Sir Stirling Moss, having competed on the hills. The car is for sale due to the owner's recent health issues and to allow Peter time to concentrate on his latest and, hopefully, less challenging project.

The file also includes several restoration photos and a film of the car made at the 2006 Dellows Meeting at Shelsley Walsh, where the car attracted much attention. Row Setrab oil cooler and custom oil hoses to suit the OEM sizes - supplied by Earls Performance with custom bracketry.

Currently in mod prod trim on slicks but comes with V5 and all parts to easily put back to roadgoing (lights, passenger seat and harness but minus tyres). As purchased the brakes were quite poor, and without a servo were no match for the power this car produces.

We bought this car from Simon Leeming (via Bill Rawles) in 2020 to replace a lovely late Mk 3 Healey 3000 which my wife Claire had long competed with, but was sadly wrecked in a fire drama on her way back from Gurston in 2019.
