Ford Open Sport 3rd Texas 1969 #2 Brabham by Marsh Models
Kit also available MM290
The Open Sports Built around a Len Bailey designed aluminium monocoque, the Open Sports Ford was the last car raced by Alan Mann Racing in its original form and used many suspension parts from the F3L project. Initially tested at Goodwood by Frank Gardner and Denny Hulme with the Weslake small-block, the car posted a blistering time of 1.07, showing its potential. The car was powered by various engines, including a bored-out small-block Ford engine, and an aluminium 8-litre V8 both using Lucas fuel injection and was driven by Jack Brabham to 3rd place in the Texas round of the 1969 Can-Am Championship.
