The end of the 2-litre European Championship put manufacturers of sports-prototype cars such as Lola in crisis, which in previous years had produced several examples of the various T290, T292 and T294. The 1976 T296 had no major changes compared to previous models, except for some noticeable adaptations from an aerodynamic point of view. A new air intake was created for the Ford and BMW engines and the Hewland FGA Mk.II transmission was adopted, yet another evolution of the FG400 type. Eight "rolling chassis" examples of the T296 were built.
This Lola with a 1980cc Ford engine was entered in the 1978 24 Hours of Le Mans by GEVA for Georges Morand, Christian Blanc and Eric Vuagnat. The car retired mid-race due to engine problems.

The Portuguese company Troféu has been producing model cars since 1990. The company specializes in precisely reproduced 1:43 rally cars. Diecast was followed by plastic production and recently Trofeu introduced the DSN range, made up of models printed directly in 3D. The range features many Le Mans cars, both well-known and less well-known, which have been highly appreciated by specialists in the sector.
