March, Bicester, England. Along with almost every other formula, March made F3 cars from 1969 to 1981. The March 783 and 793 models spanned the years 1978 and 1979. In 1978 Ralt produced the dominant car. For 1979 Chico Sera won the Vandervell British F3 Championship in a March. The 793 differed from the 783 by having some additional ground effect skirts and updated sidepods. Many famous drivers drove these models including Nigel Mansell, Teo Fabi, Tiff Needell, Michele Alboreto, Thierry Boutsen, Andrea de Cesaris, Jean-Louis Schlesser, and Stefan Johansson. The car pictured was driven by Bret Riley who scored a number of F3 wins. These cars raced with a number of motors but Bret Riley and Nigel Mansell's used to be powered by a Triumph Dolomite Swindon engine. Nice to see the car in authentic livery from the time.
