I am interested in any news/history of the above driver? Anyone who may have known him or anything about his racing days? He is now deceased so any details would be great!
Cheers

Hi David
I know he raced at Brands Hatch and Silverstone. These dates are on the Lola website which mentions his name - "Lola from Leonard F. Holland Mid 1960s - 1973 Lola Mk2". I am told that he raced alongside Jackie Stewart around that time but have very little information of his racing days and would like to fill the blanks so would be great to have details from anyone who knew him at that time.
Marian.

Hi Tim
Many thanks for that - really great !
I wonder who now owns his Lola Mk2, as the article mentions the car is still used in Formula Junior events.
The reason for my interest is simply that Len Holland was my father, whom I never knew (my parents divorcing when I was very young). I have been researching some family history to try to piece together some insight to his life, so your input is appreciated.
I am hoping that someone from those days may have known him but of course it is quite some time ago !!
Many thanks
Marian

It says on that Crystal Palace link that your father's car was chassis number BRJ-2. If you look here on the Lola Heritage site, it says this car is currently owned by Paul Hewes. Paul raced the car (no 12) in the Chichester Trophy at the recent Goodwood Revival meeting - I wonder if any of the TNF members who were there might have a photo of it.I wonder who now owns his Lola Mk2, as the article mentions the car is still used in Formula Junior events.
