Highlights

One of just five examples of the Lola T800 built, the 1984 Lola-Cosworth T800 was delivered new to Newman/Haas Racing for the 1984 CART PPG IndyCar season and was a significant contributor to Mario Andretti’s 1984 CART championship season. It was the winner of the 1984 Meadowlands Grand Prix and the 1984 Mid-Ohio 200.

It is a thoroughbred from one of IndyCar’s best-known and most successful American race teams and would be a sensational addition to any racing-focused collection (Estimate: $500,000 – $800,000).
