  • Wirral, UK. - 1.4 Petrol Active - Aqua Blue

The F1 car you can legally drive on the road: This 370bhp Lola is about as close to the real thing as you can get - but with indicators and registration plates

Built in 1996 for a bet, this F1-team developed and prepared car was made road legal in 2009

It comes with a V5 document, has a working handbrake and was last driven earlier this year to have an MoT

The engine is lifted straight out of the Ford Sierra and Escort Cosworths of the late 80s and early 90s

The chassis was created by the Lola F1 team that failed to qualify for the only Formula One race it entered

Available at an auction in December with a £55-£85K estimate.

My Brother Richard (an ex racing driver) would love that! He's thinking about a 2nd hand Golf R as his car (wife drives the Prius)

I'll have to share this story with him on FB!  :victory:
