I already posted this in the Nostalgia forum, but does anyone have a picture of the front suspension (shocks, ARB area) of the 1988 Lola F3000 car they could post? Reason I ask is I was utterly fascinated by its packaging back in the day and, shortly after, one of the first projects I set myself in CAD class at Uni was to re-create it. 20+yrs later, I haven't been able to find a picture of it.
I'm fairly sure I still have the AutoCAD model I did of it, but the 'genius' at the Apple Store can't supply a 5-1/4" floppy disk drive for my iPad.
It was - to my uneducated eyes - a work of art, but I imagine it was tough to work on, had too short a damper travel and possibly quite friction-y. The spring/shock units were short, fat Konis arranged transversely in a moulded nook atop the monococoque. The fixed end was attached to a bolt that was co-axial with the opposing spring/shock unit's rocker pivot. In amongst all this was packaged an adjustable ARB actuated by rocker arms extending towards the middle of the tub.
Like I said, a packaging marvel but I would love to see a pic to bring back old memories. Overshadowed by the Reynard debutante's success, the 88 Lola was still pretty useful (let's not talk about 88's March.... Lovely though it looked)
