The Fly Lola T70 Mk3B (reference number C94) is a highly sought after 1:32 scale model of a slotcar. This collectible is based on the iconic car with starting number 33 with which driver Jim Oppenheimer drove to a spectacular first place during the Daytona Historics in the year 2000. Oppenheimer started that race on the very last starting spot and managed to take the victory in the very last lap.

The Real Car

The Lola T70 Mk3B is a legendary British sports car that captured the hearts of car enthusiasts in the late 60’s. Designed by Eric Broadley, this was the ultimate evolution of the T70 series. Although the specific car with start number #33 from the historic races of 2000 is a wonderful tribute, the real, original racer from the 60s has an impressive story.

The Origin: Revenge on Ford
After Eric Broadley had a turbulent partnership with Ford in 1965 (laying the foundation for the iconic Ford GT40), he decided to go his own way. He wanted to build a brutal, light racing car that private racers could buy directly from him. This was the Lola T70.

The Ultimate Evolution: The Mk3B (1969)
Where previous versions were still open Spyders or early coupés, the 1969 Mk3B perfected the concept. Although the name suggests otherwise, the car was almost entirely new:

Chassis: A completely renewed, feather-light aluminium monocoque chassis.
Bodywork: A streamlined, closed cockpit made of fiberglass with a wider track width for maximum grip in the corners.
Engine: A roaring 5.0-litre American Chevrolet V8 engine. This delivered about 450 hp on a total weight of only 800 to 850 kilos.

Greatest Success: Daytona 1969
The absolute highlight of the Mk3B took place during the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1969. The famous American Penske Racing team appeared at the start with their legendary, dark blue Sunoco Lola T70 Mk3B. While Porsche and Ferrari's factory cars went out with mechanical bad luck, the reliable Lola of drivers Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons continued to drive fast. They took the overall victory — the greatest international endurance victory in the history of Lola Cars.

Pop Culture and Steve McQueen
The T70 Mk3B's brutal looks did not go unnoticed in Hollywood. In the legendary racing film Le Mans (1971) with Steve McQueen, the Lola T70 was used intensively. Because real Porsche 917s and Ferrari 512s were far too expensive to crash at the time, visually modified Lola T70 chassis were used for the heavy crash scenes that were disguised as Porsches and Ferraris.

Today, the Lola T70 Mk3B is one of the absolute masterpieces during historic races (such as the Le Mans Classic), where the roaring Chevy V8 still brings the public into ecstasy
