Owned a 51c over 40 years ago, a great starter race car. One minor correction, Formula Fords were restricted to four speed gear boxes only. Mine had the Hewland mark 8. They were also just called a 51, not a mark 51, sometimes they might be called a type 51. Mine was built in 1967, chassis number 122.. Weighed in at 965 pounds. Only raced it for eight weekends, and then moved on to other race cars.
