Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Ed Pink engine with Cosworth DFS turbo block. Test and backup car with no period history of note, some F3000 races in 84, then moved to Historic F1 with David McLaughlin, then Bib Stilwell in Australia. Restored by Richard Freshman in early 90s, raced 94 96, unused since but still presented in better than new condition.

Market commentary

This is a pretty astounding result for a Cosworth powered F1, especially without significant period history or historic racing use in some six years. The Williams cars of this period are, however, consistently competitive and the condition of this one inspires confidence. As the only buyers at this price have to be racers, look forward to seeing it at full song in the near future.
