Eric Broadley, RIP

Post by Roger King »

Just opened the local paper and discovered that Eric Broadley died on 28th May. The factory's only 5 miles from here and he lived close by, albeit very reclusive in his latter years. I was lucky enough to know many at the factory, and witnessed the wonderful tribute in '08 for the 50th anniversary of the company's formation.
As far as I'm concerned the Ford GT40 would never have happened without the Lola Mk6 GT - but, Ford links aside, I would have to admit to the Chevrolet-engined T70 MkIIIB being my favourite sports-racing car of all time.
Another motorsport hero gone - RIP, Eric
