Hi guys, I just discovered this thread, and just had to show it to my dad.

He bought a March 703 from a guy called Roger Hurst in the mid-70s. It had recently been converted to a FF2000 car, and was minus a gearbox, and never raced in FF2000 spec. As far as my dad knows, the car's only notable race was when Hurst drove it in an exceptionally wet F3 race at Monza, in which he ended up following a Fire Engine on track, which he'd mistaken for another car because all he could actually see was the spray coming off the back of it.
My dad sold it in February/March 1979 to take my mum (then only 18) on holiday to Monte Carlo. As far as he knew it was going to form the basis for a Hillman Imp SuperSaloon.
Does anyone have any idea which chassis this might have been? My dad can't remember the chassis number, in fact he's not sure if there was one by the time he got it.

thanks in advance
