Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

2.7 Climax FPF, modified front wheel mounting retaining Lotus wobbly alloy wheels. Ireland Finney Burdie Martin history with a good period F2 record. Restored by Joel Finn some time ago, overall lightly used and very much as raced except for engine. Eligible for 1 1 2 liter F2 with engine change, but not historic F1 as is.

Market commentary

Its more fun with the big motor. This is what Lance Reventlow had in mind when he commissioned the Scarab F1, just 4 years too late. The perfect front engine GP car, light and quick. Its mixed engine chassis creates a problem, and probably whacks the value by $50K.
