Description:

This proper March Formula 2 car is shabby but complete. A veteran of Frech hillclimbs,
it is a complete roller but has later March bodywork. In period the car ran BMW, then BDA and
FVA engines. It is the perfect basis for a front running Formula 70 car. The history of the
car is complete to the present.


History

March, with BMW power for the works team, totally dominated F2 in 1973. An only mildly
updated customer car was produced for '74 but the works team caused considerable grumbling
among customers by showing up with a special side rad version for their use alone. The design
was abandoned for '75 with a new wider tub design which carried on less successfully into '77, when
in desperation March dusted off the 742 prints and produced the 772P, based on the original March
tub design dating back to '71. There is far more in common between a 78 or 79 March F2 or Atlantic
car and this 1974 car that there is between the '75-'77 cars, making this a much more capable chassis
than it's date might suggest.
