Description:

The 750 Formula is the oldest continually running racing formula in the world. Names such as Arthur Mallock, Colin Chapman, Eric Broadley, Mike Costin and Gordon Murray, to name a few, cut their motorsport cloth with the 750 Formula. These days the cars run the Fiat 1108cc Fire engine to strict regulations and run on a slicks and wings format.

Now there is an opportunity to purchase a Darvi MK5 750 Formula car designed and originally built by the late Dick Harvey. The car has undergone significant development since its inception and has the potential to be a front running quick car.

This car was rebuilt by Tony Southgate (Jaguar Le Mans car designer) with pull rod front suspension and repositioned engine, tilted to 45 degrees and dry sump. Meaning the centre of gravity on this car is excellent, along with the low bodywork makes this a quick car. (The car is on the button and ready to go.)

- All new molds made for side-pod and nose cones
- Brand new shock absorbers, double adjustable Protex
- New front nose cone support structure (spare)
- New radiator
- There are various suspension parts – springs, spare set of double adjustable Avo shocks
- 4 new wet tyres
- 4 little used slicks
- Brand new fire extinguisher system
- 2 new spare side pods
The car has been completely set up by John Lee, both in terms of suspension and the engine.
The engine was built by Stuart Drake, who now works for Anthony Denham. When this engine was on John Lee’s rolling road, it was the best one he had had. And lots of time and effort, at least 4 trips to the rolling road, was spent messing around with inlets to great effect.

You cannot get better value for money for a slicks and wings formula than the 750 Formula for sub £10K.
