Eifelland F1 1972

"Without hesitation Colani bought one of Ronnie Petersonīs March Ford 711s of 1971 (with a defect engine) for the very low price of Ģ 2.500 (60.000 Euros in 2002) from March managing director Max Mosley. He used the car, that is the basic type for the 721, for creating a very futuristic bodywork for the Eifelland car. While other Grand Prix teams needed weeks for doing so and already wind tunnel tests were used at that time, Colani and his crew of six workers did that job within 100 hours of working day and night. The same time Colani also negotiated with March Engineering about future CanAm and Indianapolis projects to be realized with the support of Marchīs title sponsor STP Oil Treatment from the USA."

Nice job!

To be honest that's the only Colani design I like. It was featured in "Oldtimer Markt" this month. A fascinating project.
