Lola T70

The Lola T70, designed by Eric Broadley, was a dominant force in sports car racing in the mid-to-late 1960s. It competed in both open-top Spyder form for the Can-Am series and as a closed Coupe for the World Sportscar Championship. The cars were typically powered by big-block American V8s, most often from Chevrolet, making them brutally fast and spectacular to watch.

Collectors prize the T70 for its stunning looks, historical significance, and raw driving experience. It represents a golden age of sports car design, and cars with verifiable period race history under famous drivers like John Surtees or Dan Gurney are especially sought after. Its success and beauty made it an icon, and it even had a starring role in George Lucas's film THX 1138.

The market for T70s is complex, with a significant number of continuation cars and replicas clouding the waters. Genuine cars with continuous, documented history fetch premium prices, especially the later MkIIIB coupes. The wide price spread reflects the vast difference in value between a project car with murky provenance and a race-ready, historically significant example.

Based on recent sales, prices for the Lola T70 range from $59,000 to $307,777, with an average around $199,000.
