Late into the production of the storied Mk III Lolas, this car was completed as a street car to the specification of fabled team manager of Scuderia Filipinetti, Franco Sbarro, as they were no longer competitive against the likes of Ferrari and Porsche, not to mention the Mk IV developments of Broadley's famous Ford GT40. It was not surprising therefore to see it making a featured appearance in the 1971 Steve McQueen cult classic film Le Mans. But its dignity was shorn as Solar Productions dressed up this Lola as a Ferrari 512S, which was then crashed for a film sequence. (At the time the Lola was obviously viewed as more 'expendable' to the producers than a current 512S!) As reported by Auto Passion magazine (issues no. 24 and 26, June and August 1989, respectively) it was recovered by établissements de Kilmanie at Chambray-les-Tours and passed on to a driver from Tours, Jean-Marie Pesche. Pesche quickly repaired the car and fitted it with a Lola Mk IIIB nose and tail plus a ZF gearbox, believed to have been supplied by Sbarro. Participating in a local hillclimb with the car at Luynes in 1972, Pesche left the starting line and ended up shortly thereafter with the car in a pond. Intriguingly, after the race, Pesche’s whereabouts became unknown, and the garage closed soon afterwards. The Lola eventually made its way to the UK, where it changed hands a few more times until it was eventually sold to Emilio Cruz Urguiza of Mexico City in 2003, carrying a chassis plate stating T-135. The origin of this tag is unknown and may have been produced during the Lola's rebuild after the movie crash. In 2004, Emilio sold it to another enthusiast in Mexico, which is where it remained until 2007 when it was purchased by the second last owner and brought back to the United States for historic racing and eventual restoration. It has since then been sold by ourselves to current owner in Europe. The car has received a very important maintenance (nearly 200,000 euros over the last 2 years) regardless of cost and FIA papers are currently being re-issued.
 
Important information.
The principle of fa-automobile.com is to give access to its site to owners or brokers to deposit online vintage cars with photos and prices or not, and a text defining approximately the car.
We can not take advantage of the real quality of the car, the mileage, a hidden accident, a pledge or any other lie or hidden defects, or even the real existence of the car. These cars are found all over the world, so we have no view or control over these vintage cars. As a result, fa automobile.com merely places an applicant and a prospective buyer in contact with a commission set up in advance by the buyer or seller only during or after completion of the transaction. After a transaction between a buyer and a seller, fa-automobile.com declines any responsibility for the direct or indirect consequences, and problems mentioned above, since the payment was made directly between the buyer and the seller. Moreover, given the number of cars, fa-automobile.com can not in any case know at a given moment, if the car is still available at the moment the site is visited by a buyer. The update depends only on the depositor by warning fa-automobile.com. The photos provided by the seller remain the property of our site without time limit (approved by the depositor when depositing his car). As soon as you informed us of the sale of the vehicle by email, the car was sold '' in minimum information (without chassis number). We can arrange with an additional cost the transportation, import or export. fa-automobile.com thanks you for your understanding and wishes you a good visit.
