This is Bob Bondurant's modified Lola T70. Bondurant was a very successful racer, and drove for Shelby for a few years. But he is perhaps best known for the racing school he established to teach people how to drive a race car. This was the first such school of its type, and came about after Bondurant served as a technical consultant on the movie Grand Prix, where he taught James Garner how to drive. He established Bob Bondurant School Of High Performance Driving in 1968. The idea came to him while recuperating from a nasty shunt in 1967.
