A friend has bought 763-1 - has anybody any ideas about the history of this particular chassis?
All the best

Was the car found in Italy?
Should be Guido Pardini's car 1976-7

Andrew Meidecke may have had a car with this plate, built on tub 763-14
Pardini's car was built from AM763-1

Not really sure where it comes from - Yves Saguato bought it a couple of years ago from Steve W (you probably know who I mean!) when he was in the S of France - complete less engine. It has a red 793 (I think) bodywork but the March chassis plate (riveted to chassis) says 763-1. Yves has now sold it to somebody else in the A.C. de Monaco. I suppose I could get him to look for the AM number - where is it? I have lots of photos if you want (I can email them to you direct).

No it definitely had a Toyota engine, but W kept that for himself.

Often the chassi number is stamped under the roll hoop mounting. If there are extra letters there, they are where the tub builder also stamped his initials.

That's the tub number, not the chassis number.

March 763-7 originally had tub AM763-13 if that's any help
Sold in Italy via Pavanello

It was not 763-13 which was the car wrecked by Stephen South in his coming together with Derek Daly at the 1977 British GP support race. That car was scrapped and parts used in South's new 773.

AM is arch motors who made the tubs not the employee
tub numbers do not tie into chassis numbers
no specific order for tuybs to chaiis plates plus march operated a useful exchange system for damaged tubs you took your old unit back and a fistfull of dollars and you had a replacement tub to rebuild the car inseated of wainting 1- 4 weeks for the old tub tio be fixed
my learned friend ( maybe i should have mistyped as fiend) has the works list of chassis numbers with ORIGINAL despatched tub #
hence why he quotes 763-7 having tub AM763-13 when delivered new to Pavanello (italian agent) so if the tub # today is still 13 it will mean the car is very original and makes chris a smug bstd
