Description:


This proper March Formula 2 car is in pristine condition after a long and detailing restoration, with no expense spared. The tub is new (the original has been retained for posterity) as are all corners, rose joints, Koni dampers, rear wing, oil tank. It has got the period correct BMW M12/7 2-litre engine and has only done one race. It would be a very serious contender and a sure winner in Formula 70, Derek Bell Trophy in the UK or Acemai Trophy in France.
