Thread: Sale of Lola T 492 to Alan or Harry Humberstone?

Mission Imlausible film! That's too true. Maybe next year now. Fed-up trying to be honest.

yeah ii know what you mean ! suggest you go fit decent rear wing on the car so we can spread out the AS mags on later to read and it will also help with the down force ! Im sure something will turn up later

It came with the engine shown in the pics, we didn't change that. Not sure who put that in, think Alan and Harry may have done it. And yes well observed regarding those open trumpets, that was when John first got it and looks like the start of the strip down, from what I remember we never removed the engine, just wrapped it up, our job was to panel, roll cage, pipe, wire and fit the body. John's place at the time was a bit of a...

peter thurston is the only person on 10/10ths who saw the car when brian davies owned and it

911, the Wainwright/Sparkrite car was in '78, not the eighties. The Moseley car was also a 492, the Connell may have been Jim not Ian. Humberstone had a T590 I think, not a 490 series, he raced alongside Nick Cole, both Kentmen, Mike Blanchet had a few goes in the Cole car too. By the mid 80s, 490/492s were rare, most had gone from regular S2000 races by about 1983. I have a good no of progs from S2000 races, 77 to about 83 if any names...

Been out for a fag and I think I know who you mean, i've pm'd you driftwood.

Maybe a little piece of help/confusion!! I think you may have misheard A/H regarding the baskill name . I think the persons name is Tony Baskeville, however I wouldn't have the first idea of how to contact him but he certainly was a "Kent" man who helped a number of Club racers with preparation.Not sure he raced though. Good luck ,hope its not a red herring.

Went to look for my camera then realized my wife has it for the next ten days. She is on a cruise ship with a girl friend. The price we pay to have our toys! If you are still interested in some pics, I can take them on her return. To be fair, I still do not know complete history of my car but the details are slowly filling in. I can only assume my car has never been badly damaged and the tub is original. or at least close to original. bob k.
