I had this car for decades and just cleaned it up due to the SARC discussions on Slotblog.  Thanks, Eddie, for bringing up the topic.  I never knew anything about this until I read Scott's remembrances of the SARC club and cars.  I always wondered why an MRRC motor was used (I guess this is the motor brand).  I even thought about rebuilding the car with a can motor!  Good thing I left it alone.  The Lola did have rubber rear tires that dried out into rocks.  I replaced the rear tires with sponge to run the car.  The body was heated a little to help straighten it out.  The missing rear wing was replaced.  Time for a test drive.  I did talk to Victor this morning, and he is also sending me the club rules.  Victor has similar cars that Lee built and ran.

Very cool Rodney.   :good:

 

I'm not sure what the motor is.  :unknw:   It could be an MRRC but there might be other possibilities:

 

Below is a link to a SlotForum thread on some UK motors:
