Six wheel racing cars attracted tremendous attention and interests
towards the end of the 1970s. The theory of the 6 wheel March
was that on conventional racing cars the large wheels at the back
of the car disturb the airflow around the rear of the car and
create 'drag'. However, to reduce them in size would mean less
tyre surface in contact with the track and a corresponding reduction
in road holding and car control. March did reduce the wheels in
size and compensated for loss in tyre surface by having four rear
wheels instead of two!
This very sought after model of the Scalextric March Ford 771
is complete. Thoroughly cleaned and serviced the car is fitted
with new pick up braids and motor pinion gear. The car has been
track tested and runs extremely well with quiet smooth motor and
gears. The front and rear wing mouldings are complete. The tyres
are in good, grippy condition with no cracks or other damage.
The body has no scratches and the factory applied printing is
in good condition.
This Scalextric March Ford 771 car is wonderful to race and would
add value to any collection.
