Pit Lane Spares are proud to present the most successful T91/50 to have competed in Europe, offered as a refreshed rolling chassis ready for engine.
This well-known car has has an illustrious career as a racer (in the hands of Marco Apicella), test car (with David Coulthard and Andy Priaulx) and as a hillclimb car (with Keith Watts, Martin Groves, Amanda Furby and Roger Moran).
The car is now offered as a comprehensive rolling chassis, with all steering, brakes, electronics and gearbox present and correct. Mugen or Judd fitting kits are included and a complete Mugen MF308 V8 engine can be offered subject to separate negotiation.
Likewise, a comprehensive spares package is available including a brand new original Lola-spec tub and bodywork, spare wheels, dampers and many other mechanical parts.
Highlights of the car include:
- Ex-Marco Apicella car run by Paul Stewart Racing. Developed by PSR in period, resulting in Apicella being the highest placed Lola in the championship that year with results including two 2nd place finishes. Also used as the 1992 Judd test car with David Coulthard.
- Purchased by ATOL Racing and heavily developed by ATOL as the ATOL-Judd T95, in collaboration with other well known F1 designers and a renowned hillclimb car company, with Andy Priaulx as the development test driver.
- Features a professionally-shortened monocoque (shortened at the fuel tank area) resulting in a shortened wheelbase with heavily revised suspension, lowered steering rack and short ratio gearbox. Also comes with alternative front nose cone and F1 rear wheels.
- This well-known car competed at the sharp end of British Hillclimb Championship during the late 1990s and early 2000s, driven most notably by Keith Watts, Amanda Furby, Martin Groves and Roger Moran.
- The original Mugen MF308 that ran during the 1991 season was removed to make room for a Judd kv. This was subsequently changed to a Judd EV for hillclimbing before being removed relatively recently by a previous owner.
- Car includes dash, data logger, power module, loom, starter motor, dampers, fuel system, radiator etc. The fresh gearbox (Hewland FGB with bespoke Lola casing) was rebuilt by JPR at Silverstone.
- Includes fitting kit for a Judd EV (we can supply Mugen fitting parts if required). Also includes numerous additional fittings and fasteners.
- Repainted and vinyled Summer 2023 in original Labatts livery.
- Currently on F3000 rear wheels but 1 full set of black Formula 1 wheels is also included (as were run by ATOL in the British Hillclimb championship).
Overall this is an exceptionally presented car that would take little work to return to the hills or track. With the new HSCC Formula Libre Trophy debuting at Silverstone Festival 2023 and allowing F3000 cars up to 1990, it is surely only a matter of time before eligibility for early 1990s F3000s in Classic Racing series see values soar.
