Available with powerplants from Nissan, Honda HPD, Lotus and, as with this example, the Judd BMW M3 V-8, the Lola B1280 was the LMP2 version of the larger B08/60 chassis. With the large spinal fin, the car featured excellent stability at speed, a must for a car designed to go nearly 200-mph down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans.
Formerly owned by Dempsey Racing and with extensive IMSA history including top ten finishes at Lime Rock Park, Mid-Ohio, and Road America and appearances at Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta, the B1280 offered here is one of the last racing cars to be completed by Lola before that storied company ceased operations in 2012.
