1975 Embassy Hill GH1-03

Graham Hill started his own F1 racing team, Embassy Hill, in 1973. They started racing in a Shadow DN1. In 1974, they then moved to Lolas, and in 1975 they debuted their Andy Smallman designed Embassy Hill, GH1. Four GH1 cars were constructed. The cars were driven by future Formula One World Champion, Alan Jones, rising star Tony Brise, Rolf Stommelen, Vern Schuppan, François Migault, and Graham Hill himself. The top finish for a GH1 car in 1975 was fifth in the German Grand Prix.

Chassis # GH1-3 was first officially raced at Zolder, Belgium, in May, 1975 and numbered 23. It remained #23 through the season. The car was driven by Tony Brise. It is quite possible that this was the newly designed #3 chassis driven by Graham Hill at Monte Carlo. However, Graham mysteriously withdrew from the race after practice, and never qualified. Graham never discussed why he withdrew.

The car has been campaigned extensively in recent years in europe and the USA and has raced at Monaco Historique multiple times qualifying 4th at the 2024 edition.

The car comes with a good spares package, new belts, extinguisher and fuel cell and has just had its crack checking renewed.
