Description:

This was one of the Emeryson works cars. It was based on their Formula Junior design but with uprated
chassis, brakes and wheels to match the larger Formula 1 engine and gearbox.
This car was always fitted with a Coventry Climax engine. The works Emerysons were run by
Equipe Nationale Belge (E.N.B.) who also ran with 1500 cc Maserati engines. The cars were constructed by Paul Emery
who built Formula 1 cars to every post war GP formula from the 1940's 4-1/2 litre up to the late 1960's 3
litre. Despite being acknowledged as a great engineer, as with most privateer F1 teams, a lack of
adequate finances usually prevented the cars from showing their true form.
