Overview
Introduction
This 1972 March 722 Formula Atlantic, Chassis No. 722-12, has been meticulously restored by Bert Skidmore's Intrepid Motorcars as his personal racecar. The vehicle boasts a fresh engine by Vegher, 76B updates, and numerous titanium parts, making it an exceptional find for collectors and racing enthusiasts alike.
History of March Engineering
March Engineering was formed in 1969 by a team of specialists, including Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Graham Coaker, and Robin Herd. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality racing cars, including F1, F2, F3, Formula Ford, and Can-AM series vehicles. The 722 model, introduced in 1972, was designed for Formula 2, Formula Atlantic, and Formula B competition, featuring a 16 and 18-gauge L72 aluminum alloy bathtub monocoque construction and a tubular subframe cradling the rear-mounted engine.
Vehicle History and Specifications
This particular March 722 has been restored to its former glory, with a dyno-tested engine by Dave Vegher and numerous titanium parts used throughout the build. The vehicle has been updated with 76B suspension and features a twin diagonal down bar, which significantly improves its performance. With a low time on the fresh engine and only 8 hours on the refreshed gearbox, this car is ready for its next racing event. The current owner reports that the engine has been run for only two weekends since its refresh, and the gearbox has been recently inspected and reassembled.
The vehicle is accompanied by extensive mechanical spares, including a top portion body section, engine cover, wheels, brake discs, suspension arms, and various other parts. The car's cockpit is efficient and well-laid out, featuring a padded, removable Momo steering wheel, polished flat panel aluminum features, and a decorated roll bar with vintage race event participation stickers.
Current Condition and Presentation
Today, this event-ready March 722 presents with excellent cosmetics and proper mechanical preparation, consistent with regular care and service performed by Intrepid Motorcars. The vehicle's paint quality is smooth and consistent, with removable body sections and adhesive sponsor graphics featuring the #44 markings. The car's dramatic low stance, staggered width Avon tires, and black wheels contribute to its dynamic visual presentation, making it a standout on the track or in a collection.
