Hi John

Has anyone suggested to you that you take off the rollover hoop and see what is stamped underneath. That will tell you the year the tub was manufactured. The number you'll see there is not the same as the chassis number but will help us find out more.

Regards

seek some info on 1980`s hillclimb sprinters cars
had a chat with Richard Ames this week
he said he had bought Bristolian Bob Baily`s march 752/75B with Holbay atlantic engine
in 1981 and sprinted it
he cannot recall if it had aplate but thinks it was 75B cos itwas a narrow tub
In 82 he had Hart 420R fitted and 782 body
He ran the car in Ricoh sponsorship alongside Alan Newton with Minolta sponsrship in a 2 car team Newton was running the ex Franklin 772-10 car

anyone know who Bob Bailey was and what car he owned? was it Roy Bakers 75B
Ames said he thinks he may have sold the car to Scotland and traded it for a Maguire Imp blue with a stripe down the middle so this would be circa winter 82 spring 83
anyone know who this could be?

Next querie
the Norrie Gailbraith 742 ( ex Franklin 742) is advertised for sale in Dec 1980 AS with a Frome tel no
who is this?
I have been advised there was a guy called Stephen?? who was from this area who did run a march and where did the car go to- Maybe back to Scotland?

Stephen Cuff, who had a Trojan T101 at some point, was he Frome-based I think?? Don't recall him with a March though.

driftwood · 7 Oct 2009, 13:50 (Ref:2555897)

yes he had trojan and i think Mcrae
the AS advert was Frome for the march but ive no idea if he ran it in 81

Msport Services · 7 Oct 2009, 15:33 (Ref:2555954)

Afraid that yours is not 722-08. Have owned this car for a number of years.

Is that car still in Colorado? How long have you owned the car?
Do you have some history on the car?

The car we have was purchased from Colorado, Jim Buick in '81.
With another colorado gentleman driving it after for one year.
Then to california were my dad purchased in '84 I believe. Which
came with a SCCA logbook from 1980. Colorado SCCA drivers were
Jim Buick, and Bill Murrey I believe was the second driver. My dad
has a copy of the bill of sale between the two.

Thanks

The car you have can't be 722-8. Have you spoken to Jim Buick about your car? We're in touch with him here at ORC if you need contact details.

I'm sorry, I guess I missed saying our car was 722-08, unless the number i posted shows that. The only thing I have posted is the info that we have with the car and the stamp mark under the roll hoop. The SCCA stamp on the roll hoop also matches with our log book from 1980.

No, we have tried to find Jim Buick's contact info.....that would be great.
We did get a copy of the bill of sale from the guy that bought it from him, and spoke with him many years ago.

The Hewland number with the car if it helps to reference
on the cover FT200-777
right side over the ring gear on housing FT200-264
I will post pics as soon as possible. I'm not claiming any car numbers once again, just the facts of what is in our shop.

Thanks for the info on Jim, please send to HamFabInc@aol.com and PFRRace@aol.com

Thanks for any help

driftwood · 9 Oct 2009, 06:55 (Ref:2557269)

FT264 is gearbox number so allen you can trace the car via that or the AM number
IF yr pulliing the car apart a cell # is always interesting item to work off

Ex Kazato (1972 European F2) Simon Hadfield to Jim Bennett (CO) to our shop. 722-30 was in Colorado Springs (Shipley) for a while, but has since sold. Bill Murray might remember the car, will ask when I see him next.
Need more info, give us a call (435) 783-2933

driftwood · 10 Oct 2009, 08:35 (Ref:2558052)

The AM' as 72 x 64 is odd? normally its just AM722 or 723- ??#

What a coincidence. I only read the MN report of Albi (Sept 1972) this morning. He raced the the Peter Bloore Racing March for most of the season [quoted as 722-8] and a GRD at Albi in September, said to be Wissell/Walkinshaw/Sutcliffe.

722-15-02 is the march part number for the drawing relating to that cell
i assume it is a wedge shape that sits behind drivers derrier ( thats french not queens english! ) most f2 cars had 2 cells down each side of the tub but maybe teh Fb cars needed smaller cell for shorter race duration

i think the ME # relates to the part number that Marston have
the serial # march would have on file for the cell fitted to a chassis number
being made in nov 71 shows it was going into the 72 car build programme

Chris T where are you with some data??

HAMMILL · 11 Oct 2009, 17:56 (Ref:2559095)

I'll get the secound cell # today, these are both 20 gallons or so
