Lola company founder Eric Broadley entered motor racing with a Austin Seven Special and went on to build his own special with his cousin Graham. Entered as the Broadley Special, the car gave the cousins valuable experience of building a purpose built road/racing car.
The prototype Mark 1 was built for the 1958 season, designed around a Coventry Climax FWA Mk.II engine of 1098cc to comply with the 1100cc class races. The engine had the twin advantages of producing 83bhp and weighing less than 100kg, mated to an Austin 4 speed gearbox, an all new multi-tubular space frame chassis of just 27kg.,and custom built double wishbone suspension. The aluminium body was built by Maurice Gomm with the completed car weighing less than 400kg.
Production of the first customer cars began in 1959, Broadley actively retired from racing to concentrate on the business side of the company. The production cars proved winners, highlighted by a 1-2-3 finish in the Chichester Cup at Goodwood. For 1960 the labour intensive aluminium bodies gave way to fibre glass and a 1220cc Mk.III version of the Coventry Climax FWA engines used, and retro-fitted for classes above 1100cc.
