I missed that! Yes, the car had a Ford engine and the series was based around this engine, but it wasn't Formula Ford as we know it.

Formula Ford 2000 ?

Mmmmm..... yes and no. At the time this car was built, the series was exclusively Ford-powered, but later another engine was specified. The title of the series is very close to FF2000.

That's close enough for me. I have it as a Bowman BC5 from 1998. The series was run in North America and was called F2000, powered by Ford Pinto engines, although I believe the formula now uses Mazda units.
