March 802

OK so I am on the last page and am wondering if the list of cars has been updated to show where each chassis is to the best of our research. If that could get posted it would be great.

Thanks,

Lee

We don't do that any more as it was regularly ripped off.

Tell us what you have and what you want to know and I'm sure someone will be happy to help.

Just to fill in some history of 802-6. I bought it in late 1989 from Richard Fuller in order to use the M12 engine in my so-called 782. The car came with a Mazda rotary installed, ex South Africa, and the BMW engine was in the process of being rebuilt.So I don't think the story of its tub being used for a rebuild in South Africa is right. It had an 812 nosecone and cockpit and very dodgy sidepods giving no downforce at all.
The BMW went into the 782 for the 1990 hillclimb season and enabled me to win that year's 2 litre Midlands Championship.
But I didn't want to put the BDG into the 802 so the BMW was reinstalled.I did a few hillclimbs with it in this state, but it was much slower and heavier than the 782. I tried to find pukka 802 bodywork without success and decided to sell the car as it was hopeless on the hills.
Eventually I swapped it for a TVR Griffith from Clive Greenhalgh in Birmingham, which was easier to turn into cash.

While I am familiar with the BDA, I would like info on the BMW engines used in the 802's. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hi all,

Well I have finally unearthed 802-19 and am going to need help to get it put back together. I am hoping those of you out there with complete cars can give me some photos of various areas of the car.

It is currently in CSR configuration and I want to bring it back to an F2 config. I have almost all of the bodywork but need detail info on tunnel mounting radiator fitment, oil tank location, etc. It has a BDA currently fitted.

Any photos or help can be sent directly to me at 65356sc@msn.com
and would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lee

I recently purchased this car and have a lot of questions about it.

I am the current owner of the march 802. To answer your question, the plate is in the tub and clearly shows that It's model 802-9 M. This car was run in the grand champion series at Fuji raceway.

Anyone have any idea of the history of this car? or perhaps the series it ran in?

Would anyone know the history of 802-9 other than it going to the lemans co. Thanks

Looking for track, wheelbase and overall length (with wing) for an 802.

Any help would be wonderful.

Thanks,

At the forum it was told Franz Konrad used 802's for the 1982 season. Can anyone help with that chassis ? I desperately tried to enclose pictures to my mesage ?! kind regards MB-AC
