Lola T 212

==Description==
The Lola T212 was a prototype sports car designed by Lola Cars for use in Group 6 racing. Designed by Eric Broadley, the T212 was used in a wide variety of series, from hillclimbs to endurance racing. The cars were generally powered by 2.0L Ford-Cosworth FVC inline-4s and saw moderate success in a wide variety of categories. By 1971 the T212 was replaced in the Lola hierarchy by the T290. 22 chassis were built.
This model features a lift-up body which can be held up by a prop. This model was created specifically for the Gran Toros line and was not featured in any of the original Mebetoys lineups; the model was quickly tooled as a last-minute replacement for the March 721 Formula One car which was part of Mebetoys's larger 1/28 scale lineup of contemporary Formula One cars. This was the last of the twenty-five Gran Toros models.
