March 712

This car took part in the HSCC Pre '71 Single Seater Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
It's the 1971 March 712 entered by PRW Hillingdon Motors and driven in the race by Peter Walker. I've not been able to trace a history of the car, but the programme of the event says that it had a 1,594cc engine, presumably a Ford Cosworth unit. In the 1971 European Formula 2 season the works March 712 was driven by Ronnie Peterson, and other March drivers that year included Dieter Quester, Jean-Pierre Jarier, Niki Lauda, Derek Bell and Vittorio Brambilla.
