If anyone knows any more about Charles Saunders I would be very interested. I now own his TVR Grantura Climax which he raced before the Lola. He was an architect and I think edited the Sevenoaks & District MC Bulletin. I understand that he died a few years ago. It would be interest to know the chassis number of his Lola.

The Kentish Men and the Men of Kent are curiously reluctant upon the subject.

We now know that Charles Saunders owned the Lola at least from mid-1964 to the end of 1968.

But where it came from, and where it went to, remains a total mystery.

The prototype Lola Mk 1 from 1958 was registered 600 DKJ. This car shows up in 1962/1963 in the hands of Peter Borthwick (according to Rob Pennington he was from Birkenhead).

He won a race on the Aintree club circuit 8 September 1962. Also shows up setting a class record in 1 min 16 sec at Rhydymwyn Sprint, 13 October 1962. Described as Peco Lola-Climax.

The only casualty of the afternoon

was Eric Broadley of Chelsfield, Kent.

But he was not seriously hurt,

although he made an unfortunate

debut on the circuit by spinning off

at the Madgwick Corner and somer-

saulting in a cloud of dust. Ambu-

lance men took him to the Royal West

Sussex Hospital for an X-ray.

His new home-made, swift-corner-

ing Lola-Climax, in which he once

lapped at the near-record time of

88.71 m.p.h., was however, badly

damaged.

Broadley lost a tooth and suffered

face wounds. Then it was learned

that the scrutineers had not passed

his car, anyway, because he did not

have a spare wheel.

Kyalami, Rand Spring Trophy Meeting, 10 October 1963

Final race of the day—run in pouring

rain—was the final event in the Trans-

vaal Sports Car championship. This was

another victory for Henri le Roux in his

immaculate 1,100 c.c. Lola-Climax, who

by so doing also won the provincial title,

with full points, from four wins.
