DESCRIPTION

Signed John Surtees, Lola T70 Can Am 1966, 1:18.Stunning 1:18 scale Lola T70 replica, driven by John Surtees to victory in the opening round of the first Can Am series in 1966 in Quebec,Canada and on to victory in the Can Am Championship for Lola and Team Surtees. The replica includes a lifting rear panel to reveal amazing engine detail, a detail cockpit including seat belts, and an amazinglydetailed chassis. John Surtees says, "The Lola was truly an awsome but highly rewarding car to drive. Designed and built by Eric, the T70 was pitted against some formidable opposition in 1966, the year that I won the first ever Can Amseries. With the McLaren's of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon plus Jim Hall's famous Chaparral who by then had also enlisted the services of Phil Hill, there was no shortage of competition. I should not of course forget fellow Lola driver Dan Gurney. As the records show, 1966 turned out to be one of the closest fought series with myself and Hill on levelpoints right up to the final round in Las Vegas. I got it right from the start and went on to win, it truly was a drivers Championship."Presentation display box features a black road surfaced base, picture back and mirrored sides. Only available from The Signature Store, this model is one of just 2,504 produced and one of only a handful signed by John.
