Description
Mitchell Curated is delighted to offer the Ex - Barrie Smith 1969 Lola T70 Mk3B for sale for the first time in nearly 20 years.
One of the clearest and most original Lola T70 Mk3Bs in existence and very hard to better.
The third iteration of SL76/ 148 after Picko Troberg destroyed two cars in early 1969, this car featured salvageable parts from Troberg’s wrecks and was bought from Lola by British privateer Barrie Smith in 1969.
Smith campaigned SL76/ 148 around Europe, Argentina and South Africa through 1969 and 1970 with victories at Crystal Palace.
Road registered in the UK in late 1970 by then owner John Farley and remaining on the same registration today.
SL76/ 148 continued its racing exploits with Richard Bond, along with Gerry Marshall and Ray Mallock when owned by Geoffrey Marsh.
Subsequently owned by David Piper and Richard Attwood for nearly 20 years and raced in their ownership by a selection of drivers.
In the current ownership of Chris Beighton since 2006, SL76/ 148 has been maintained and supported by Simon Hadfield Motorsport for over 10 years, taking many race wins and impeccably prepared.
With valid crack testing, fuel cell and FIA HTPs, SL76/ 148 has an enormous spares package including fresh spare engine, suspension, bodywork and more.
Having been raced for almost all of its life, SL76/ 148 is remarkable for having stayed out of trouble and today is one of the very best original Lola T70 Mk3Bs that there is.
