swift should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
it's been a while since i posted on here but, i couldn't help but spot this thread on Alexis cars. my father, Ken, did start originally start racing in formula ford using a Russell Alexis and did move on to a MK17 formula 3 car in 1970, I have seen results from this year mentioning both Ken and Dick Barker so, these are two different cars.

Ken had a huge accident in this car at Oulton Park mid 1970 during private testing when a front upright failed at Island Bend. The car was badly damaged but rebuilt by Ken's mechanic. Ken never drove the car again and he did a deal with Alexis cars (via Alan Taylor?) and part exchanged the car against a brand new MK18 formula ford.

Ken could never make this car work and soon after met up with Derek Lawrence and set up Team Titan using 2 MK6 titans.

hope this info helps
