Chassis:
After serving as a spare, this car was pressed into service late during the 1973 season. Along with the Jessop's design for a new Formula 1 car, this car was bought by Token Racing ahead of the 1974 season. Renamed the Safir, it was fitted with a new nose and raced in the Silverstone round of the 1974 British F2 Championship. Following a single outing as the Safir, it was retired from contemporary racing. Chassis 009 was subsequently acquired by Tony Vlassopulus, who was the former chairman of Rondel Racing. The car remained in storage until it was acquired by Neil Trundle and his then McLaren colleague George Langhorne in 1988. They finally set about restoring the car in 2014, using Langhorne's experience as McLaren's spray shop manager to re-finish it in the striking Motul colours. Ahead of the 2017 season, it was bought by a British historic racer. Prepared by Raceworks Motorsport, it has been campaigned it in Patrick Peter's Formula 2 championship.
