That is the real deal...and to think it runs on the street! Many thanks to the owner for allowing us to get a close and personal look at a beautiful piece of automotive history that we might never see otherwise. The 500 horses pushing what is likely well enough under 2000 lbs is what we can call way more than adequate. ...It seemed like she was idling at about 200 rpm when it was first fired up, but then just ripping when opened up a bit. I love the chiropractor analogy - and can understand where there is a bit of truth to that. Thanks to Lou too for this awesomeness.

One of the nicest looking cars of all time.

That era is my favorite, the Lola, Ferrari 312P, Porsche. That is "one awesome car". Cheers -- keep em drivin'

The biggest problem here is that it was never designed to go this slow, you can see the driver struggling to stop it stalling but when he gives it even just a small amount of throttle you can hear that power begging to be let loose, what a machine and what a view over the bonnet, great racing car and great video, thumbs up

There's a blue one in New York that I took a ride in. Amazing experience to be on the road in one of these. One of the first cars that got me into vintage race cars. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Thank you! The Lola T70 has been a favorite since i first saw pictures in Road & Track as a kid. One of the best looking racing sports cars ever. And great sound, as we're hearing so well with you. Thanks so much for taking us on a ride. Like another commenter, i remember slot car models, that ran on larger than home scale tracks. While i wistfully/enviously watched other boys play with them, I didn't have money enough. Just some car mags. Am glad Lola T70's are doing so well in Historic Vintage racing now. Thanks again. ...The engine sound's still echoes in my head. Thanks too for showing parts other videoers might've cut, like getting in and out and your co-host needing to drive in socks. His shoes too wide for the pedals?

Doesn't get any better than that. What a machine and what those beautiful Revs can do for ones Ear. THX Lou!!

That loping idle made me smile with joy. 💪👍

I worked on The Lola T70Mk3b, as second mechanic, that belonged to Terry Croker (A&J Motors Racing) in 1969 prior to Terry moving on to a Lola T210. The Chassis number was T70 Mk.IIIB-SL76/153.

OMG it feels like I am realing riding in the Lola, thanks for the experience Lou.

everybody sing now ! Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola ")

Watched these race at Oulton Park in the late 60s with Bryan Redman at the wheel.Still one of my most favourite cars of all time.The looks the noise fantastic

Love this ride, it rocks out loud! With both doors open it looks especially futuristic! Love the wide wheels too. Again, just rippin sound... fierce!!!!! Very fun ride vid, felt like I was along... thank you!!

It's sounds great! I wouldn't miss a radio, either. Or the speedo, or cupholders, or...

Thanks lou, fantastic opportunity you had there. Amazing car but a race car for the road seems a bit uncomfortable. That said I'd love one on my drive.

The race car for the privateer doing battle with the manufacturers many years ago.love the car

Eric Broadley made some really fast cars, that were also eye candy.

I've still never met a T70 that I didn't immediately fall in love with.

There's no words for cars like this, right Lou? 👍👌👏😍

We're young again when we get behind the wheel of something like this. ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could listen to that engine, especially it's threatening idle, all day long. It's a pity the car wasn't taken to a road where it could stretch a bit; the poor thing sounded deeply frustrated !

That is not a machine, that is a sentient animal.

My GOD! Stunning.

It's like automotive design died after this era of cars. This and the cars that raced with it are the most beautiful things ever created. So sad that it will never be like this again.

Oh yeah Lola Lola! Good trip Lou! I bet the neck people folded when you rode!

Awesome even when it stalls! (^_^) ...No radio? Outstanding Lola, a beauty.

Cars don’t come much more raw than that.

Whenever I ask the horsepower (500) I always follow up with the weight query (about 1800 lbs).

Slowest driver change in history! One of the top 5 all time sports racing cars! Amazing! And on the street! Unbelievable! This beauty turns every road into the Mullsane straight!

High darling, can you pick me up?. Sure babe, hold on, seatbelts first!.

The yellow peril. A real white knuckle ride. One of those cars where you either drive it ten-tenths or park it. There's not much in between.

This one is very tamed for the street. In race form look out. When you want fast, the name is Lola.

Wow. Great car, great video, great job. Leave a sub here. Best regards from Germany...

That is automotive art. And who needs a stereo? Won't find anything that sounds as good as that Weber carb'd, Z-F trans-axel'd, Ford V8 jukebox sitting behind you.

I it's illegal in Illinois to drive without shoes on, I'm afraid we're going to have to confiscate your car

Lola... A beautiful name for a beautiful car...

A bit rough😬 still lovely😍

Hey Barry you just went by my shop how about a ride on the way back? Gary at 1150

Wow great while we watch as two old geezer's fumble around looking for the Simpson safety belts they don't need to wear as they go for a spin around town at idle speed but what the hell right ...This car is a brite yellow 4 wheel bottle of Viagra/Geritol ....Myself and a very good friend used to fly around in a White with blue stripe 70 trans Am with a fully prepped bored and balanced 461 inch 455 with ram race clutch a specially prepared M22 mated to a 12 Bolt Locker rear end with 2:73 ratio Koni Coil overs all four corners full 10 point race cage with mini lite's race wheel's weld in frame connectors and all the proper support's with 32 gallon fuel cell and a nearly 4 inch thick specially made aluminum radiator with electric fans . This was the most radically prepped car I've ever driven on the street . Not including 8 second drag cars street driven of course .. There can be no greater feeling then blasting down some State Highway in the we hours of the AM with a full moon and Marcal competition head lights ..The Trans Am was good for 90+ in first and getting out of it at 6500 RPM in 4th I wasn't really looking at the speedO in 4th gear the corners were closing in so fast . But I've never driven anything that took hold of the road like that we were using BFG competition radials that had cut down tread ..Road cars rock like nothing else..

Nice.

this driver drives without his shoes...only wearing white socks LOL

Some guy in North Fork Ca has a Lola, street legal it is. Drives it to the North Fork Car Show on July 4 and such. North Fork has the distinction of being home to Sam Peckenpah and mass murderer Edwin Kempner. And its thw geographic center of California

Sounds like riding in a beater pickup truck with loose door hinges and no interior paneling or floor mat and the solid lifters just make it sound like a truck engine low on oil pressure with collapsed hydraulic lifters. Idle mixture is too rich and idle speed is too slow for manual gearbox idle wants to stall after it's warmed up

To think you could buy one of these from Lola in the late 60's for about £30k

Don't forget the onions!

Hate to rain on anyone’s parade. This isn’t the real car lol. This is a RCR street car version. The mirrors aren’t in the correct location and the replica is only 167” and the real car is 196”. You can tell this is the replica due to the rear holes on the rear quarters, and the mirror placement.

What a beautiful race car, it deserves respect and knowledge about the car jet these two dont know even how to put on a racing harness it is a joke and the way he drives, he should give up his drivers license

Definitely not the real thing. Sbarro never got MK 3 B Chassis from Lola Cars. (just Mk 3) This car ist a Mk3B (see tags) By the way brand new chassis tags (of the sixties?) Got the info directly from Lola Cars.

oh that´s embarrasing. two old blokes which are hardly capable to get in the Car, it took ages to fasten the seatbelts (the driver even did fasten them correctly!) and then the driver wore only white socks... such a shame, you really missed a great opportunity, sadly.

1:20-3:00 how sardines are put in the can.

devilish sound, devilish car TOP

Too much for the street? Peter Revson used to drive these cars on the 110!

This one might be for the street but

Wouldn't you think that when driving that beast you should wear some f***in' shoes!

Sounds like a rotary.

Would have been much better to see/hear this machine in a "let it loose' situation. And without comments about radio & air conditioning, fer crissake.

not made for 55 and 1500 RPM........ its a Race Car

no shoes ? hmmmm

why the frig is he driving with no shoes!?

She needs an E-rod LT4 rated at 640 HP & 630 ft/lbs torque to really awaken that light chassis....with full factory tuning and mild street manners, one won't have any of those stalling issues whatsoever.

What??? 😂😂😂

oh boy. The driver, err, ummm, needs practice.

Its street legal but belong on a track

11

Not so drivable, needs some more tuning, maybe less of a cam?

replica ?

I have way better roads....😏😎
