Further to Drifty's notes below:
1) The TG290s were the Tolemans built up by Ray Rowan from the spare tubs/chassis.
2) The Romans were the cars that Ray Rowan built from the spare bits (i.e. not full tubs/chassis) plus what he had made-up by SPA.
3) There are two Romans left that I know of (one in Yorkshire that is in bits and minus its engine & gearbox, the other a complete car which hasn't competed for many years).
On the photo front I have loads of stuff on slides which I will hopefully digitise over the Winter IF another project doesn't take up too much of my time!
PS How did I ever find time to go to work!!!

lola built/made 5x T850 under licence in 81
1 car had DFL fitted
with the odd spares left after the "toleman" tg290 cars where built Ray made the Roman using some uprights and tub skin bits with SPA making more parts and the final tubs for the 2 Romans but they are 2 totally different cars
They have DNA to toleman f2 cars car but are not toleman modifed cars
as we discussed earlier in detail the f2 cars plus the 4-5 hillclimb sprinting cars and more can be added if someone needs more info
only 1 roman exists
bored now can we have some photos please
