This car was driven by Marcus Pye in the Maserati UK Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999. It's the 1962 Lola Mk4 of Duncan Dayton that was campaigned in the 1962 season by the Bowmaker Racing Team in place of the Cooper T53 cars they had used the previous season. The Lola Mk4, like several of the other teams, used the 1,496cc V8 Coventry Climax FWMV engine and three of these cars were apparently built, this one being chassis BRGP42 that John Surtees drove in most of the Grand Prix races in the 1962 season.
2 Mk4 Cortina's, The Green One is a 2.3 Ghia and The Yellow One is a 2.3 S both cars were at Santa Pod at Ford Fest.

It's been about three years now since I got into this mess hobby and it's about time I got meself a 1:48 225 set on the roster. I started by getting the shaping right - the coach is tapered towards the top and the ends taper inwards a bit like the real thing. I think it's genuinely the best shaping work I've done, but I've still got to do some attaching of sections and making sure it all works. I debated whether I wanted it to be pure white or if I sould go with the tan (neither were particularly correct IMO) but I've gone with the tan. Next up, the coach variants and then the DVT and 91!
The DVT turned out to be less of a copy-paste of the coach and more a ground up redo, but it was still relatively easy (for the most part). I've still got to attach some bits and maybe tweak some bricks but I'm set on this design, I think it looks the part and I'm really happy with how it's turned out. The cab/nose design will be virtually identical on the 91, the real challenge for the loco will be fitting motors into the loco!
