While Lola developed the T282 for the 3-liter class in 1973, the T292, an improved version of the 1973 T290, was proposed for the 2000cc class. The T292 won the 2-liter European Championship in 1973, winning 4 out of 8 races (two with Chris Craft, two with Guy Edwards), with a reasonable margin of advantage over rival Chevron. In the following years, the T292s continued to be used by numerous private teams in various championships, with Ford Cosworth, Simca Chrysler engines and so on.
Entered in the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans by the British Rays Racing, this T282 had a 2000cc 4-cylinder Ford engine. Driven by Nigel Clarkson and Derek Worthington, the car managed to finish the race, albeit far behind in the standings.
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.
