History
The 1974 F2 season saw wealthy Hong Kong businessman John Harper order March 742/BMWs for his drivers David Purley and an out-of-retirement Dieter Questor. When the works Marches appeared with a specification totally different than the customer cars and were clearly superior Harper switched to Chevrons in retaliation and scored some good results. This car is the David Purley car and took a 2nd at Pau and Rouen against the supposedly unbeatable works Marches of Stuck and Depailler.Engine
