Description:
This pre-70 Formula Ford is a complete and very original example of the English specialist producer's 1968-9
second model for the class. Monoposto racer Tony Macon produced the MR6 beginning in 1967 and made headlines
by debuting the car at the hands of Ray Allen who had won the first ever stand-alone Formula Ford race in
July of that year. True to form, Allen obtained a victory for a storybook kick-off for the marque. The
history books tell us that a 1969 car should be a MR7B but the chassis plate on the car reads as follows:
History
It is documented that several cars were imported to the U.S., this is obviously one of them. It had
been campaigned in the Northeast for some time as a SCCA Club Ford, which markings it still has. It was
then purchased as a running car by the current owner just as Historic Formula Ford began in the U.S.
Sadly, he has since lost interest and the car has sat for some years.
