Description:


Until recently active as a French hillclimb car, this 1973 works F2 March has a continuous and
fascinating history. Currently fitted with later (77B?) bodywork, it is in very good condition and
literally just requires an engine to be runnable. The tub is in very good condition, requiring at most
a few rivets. Although lacking a chassis tag the car has the original importation documents and a
continuous verifiable history.


History

This car was originally part of the 1973 March works team and in that year was driven by Beltoise,
Stuck, Coulon, and Jarrier. March totally dominated F2 that year, having an exclusive on the best
BMW engines. Jarrier ended series Champion, winning seven of the 14 rounds, with two of his victories
coming in this car. In the 1973 season the car carried the chassis number 732/10. A color photo of one
of the works 732s, driven by Jarrier, appears on page 85 of "The Story of March" by Mike Lawrence. The
works cars ran in the distinctive deep red STP colors.
