Lola MKI (1958 to 1961)

The Lola MKI, also seen as MK1, became Lola’s first customer car in 1958, and one that would quickly mature the company. By sourcing expertise from various companies, Eric Broadley managed to build a super lightweight car totaling 812lbs. The MKI was powered by a Conventry Climax engine weighing only 215 lbs and featured a 60lbs square-section chassis; plus all the rest of mechanicals must-haves. By 1960 more than 20 cars had been produced with a racing highlight being a class win at the 1960 12H of Sebring.
