1974 Maki F1

Yes. One point to you. I'm surprised we haven't had this car before, it's rather unusual.

It is the 1974 press launch of the Maki F101. Howden Ganley had already agreed to drive the car, but when he saw it for the first time, his heart sank. He persuaded the makers that it wouldn't really work in that format, and by the time it actually raced, it looked a bit more like its rivals. It was naively designed, and way too heavy.
