There were at least three Formula V racecars there today and I took pics of these two. I am ignorant about the details of the fantastic little machines other than knowing they are limited to running a 1200cc motor with a single carb, the stock front beam, stock drum brakes, etc. Back in its heyday (I'm guessing the formula started in the late 50's? Need to look it up ...) the grids of this genre must have been huge.
This first one was beyond immaculate, a total pinnacle of preparation.
The header was a work of art.
How's about some negative camber?
The slave cylinder was a neat touch and must be an improvement over the stock cable.
This ran with the 1600-2 liter street-based cars - Alfa Giulias, 356's, the Lotus Cortina, et al and was doing pretty well.
This next one's body was quite different:
I'm guessing that rectangular grille is from a 356 ...which exactly model? Super 90? Someone please advise.
Thanks, John
