Phoenix - Lola Mk1

Since RAW have allowed the Phoenix to live up to its name I thought it would be interesting to see where (I believe) the shape came from....the 1959 Lola Mk1. This will give Lee some ideas for his retro look There is an interesting article here

Amazing to think, with a Coventry Climax 1100cc engine the the car was 368Kg without fuel, you would struggle to get close to that today with a BEC fitted. Not bad for 1959!
