March Engineering was set up in September 1969 by amateur racing drivers Max Mosley, Alan Rees and Graham Coaker, with engineer and former McLaren and Cosworth racing car designer Robin Herd. After having produced a prototype car, Max Mosley announced that March would enter a car for the first Grand Prix of the 1970 Formula One season. They did much better as no less than five March 701 appeared at the South African Grand Prix on March 7th, 1970.<\/p>\n
March’s first F1 car was an immediate success. Robin Herd designed a simple bathtub monocoque for the March 701, with basic outboard suspension. As well as running a works team with STP sponsorship and drivers Chris Amon and Jo Siffert, cars were also supplied to Team Tyrrell for the new World Champion Jackie Stewart, to STP for Mario Andretti, and to Colin Crabbe\u2019s Antique Automobiles for F2 star Ronnie Peterson which is the car on offer.<\/p>\n
Chassis 701\/8 first became available for the third race of 1970 at the Monaco GP in May, but with the responsibility of looking after the team’s one and only engine, Peterson was unable to match the pace of the leading 701s driven by Stewart and Amon, although he did compare favourably with experienced works driver Jo Siffert. On his Formula One debut the talented Swede qualified twelfth and was the only March to finish, just out of the points in seventh.<\/p>\n
That was to be Peterson’s best result of the year, the remaining races yielding only two ninth places, two unclassified finishes and an eleventh-placed finish in the team’s last race at the 1970 United States Grand Prix. The car\u2019s 1970 race results can be seen below in the History section.<\/p>\n
After the 1970 season, 701\/8 was sold to Alfa Romeo for testing after which it was bought by Nini Botto, by Patriarca to then \u2013 in the mid-90s \u2013 by Flavio Tullio who returned the car back to its original \u201cAntique Automobiles\u201d livery. In 2005, 701\/8 was bought by Peter Schleiffer who sold the car to its current owner in 2008. Since then, 701\/8 has been very well maintained and participated in no less than five Monaco Historic GPs, the last one in 2018.<\/p>\n
701\/8 is offered for sale in excellent and race-ready condition with a current FIA HTP and fuel cell valid until 2025. The DFV engine \u2013 rebuilt by Richardson – has 7 hours on it and all other date related items are current. Spares consist of a set of wheels, a complete spare body, various gear-ratio\u2019s and miscellaneous running spares.<\/p>\n
This is a rare opportunity to own an early 70\u2019s F1 car driven by legendary Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson which would be an asset to any serious F1 collection while also being highly eligible for the prestigious Monaco Historic Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

March Engineering was set up in September 1969 by amateur racing drivers Max Mosley, Alan Rees and Graham Coaker, with engineer and former McLaren and Cosworth racing car designer Robin Herd. After having produced a prototype car, Max Mosley announced that March would enter a car for the first Grand Prix of the 1970 Formula One season. They did much better as no less than five March 701 appeared at the South African Grand Prix on March 7th, 1970.<\/p>\n
March’s first F1 car was an immediate success. Robin Herd designed a simple bathtub monocoque for the March 701, with basic outboard suspension. As well as running a works team with STP sponsorship and drivers Chris Amon and Jo Siffert, cars were also supplied to Team Tyrrell for the new World Champion Jackie Stewart, to STP for Mario Andretti, and to Colin Crabbe\u2019s Antique Automobiles for F2 star Ronnie Peterson which is the car on offer.<\/p>\n
Chassis 701\/8 first became available for the third race of 1970 at the Monaco GP in May, but with the responsibility of looking after the team’s one and only engine, Peterson was unable to match the pace of the leading 701s driven by Stewart and Amon, although he did compare favourably with experienced works driver Jo Siffert. On his Formula One debut the talented Swede qualified twelfth and was the only March to finish, just out of the points in seventh.<\/p>\n
That was to be Peterson’s best result of the year, the remaining races yielding only two ninth places, two unclassified finishes and an eleventh-placed finish in the team’s last race at the 1970 United States Grand Prix. The car\u2019s 1970 race results can be seen below in the History section.<\/p>\n
After the 1970 season, 701\/8 was sold to Alfa Romeo for testing after which it was bought by Nini Botto, by Patriarca to then \u2013 in the mid-90s \u2013 by Flavio Tullio who returned the car back to its original \u201cAntique Automobiles\u201d livery. In 2005, 701\/8 was bought by Peter Schleiffer who sold the car to its current owner in 2008. Since then, 701\/8 has been very well maintained and participated in no less than five Monaco Historic GPs, the last one in 2018.<\/p>\n
701\/8 is offered for sale in excellent and race-ready condition with a current FIA HTP and fuel cell valid until 2025. The DFV engine \u2013 rebuilt by Richardson – has 7 hours on it and all other date related items are current. Spares consist of a set of wheels, a complete spare body, various gear-ratio\u2019s and miscellaneous running spares.<\/p>\n
This is a rare opportunity to own an early 70\u2019s F1 car driven by legendary Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson which would be an asset to any serious F1 collection while also being highly eligible for the prestigious Monaco Historic Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

After having produced a prototype car, Max Mosley announced that March would enter a car for the first Grand Prix of the 1970 Formula One season. They did much better as no less than five March 701 appeared at the South African Grand Prix on March 7th, 1970.<\/p>\n March’s first F1 car was an immediate success. Robin Herd designed a simple bathtub monocoque for the March 701, with basic outboard suspension. As well as running a works team with STP sponsorship and drivers Chris Amon and Jo Siffert, cars were also supplied to Team Tyrrell for the new World Champion Jackie Stewart, to STP for Mario Andretti, and to Colin Crabbe\u2019s Antique Automobiles for F2 star Ronnie Peterson which is the car on offer.<\/p>\n Chassis 701\/8 first became available for the third race of 1970 at the Monaco GP in May, but with the responsibility of looking after the team’s one and only engine, Peterson was unable to match the pace of the leading 701s driven by Stewart and Amon, although he did compare favourably with experienced works driver Jo Siffert. On his Formula One debut the talented Swede qualified twelfth and was the only March to finish, just out of the points in seventh.<\/p>\n That was to be Peterson’s best result of the year, the remaining races yielding only two ninth places, two unclassified finishes and an eleventh-placed finish in the team’s last race at the 1970 United States Grand Prix. The car\u2019s 1970 race results can be seen below in the History section.<\/p>\n After the 1970 season, 701\/8 was sold to Alfa Romeo for testing after which it was bought by Nini Botto, by Patriarca to then \u2013 in the mid-90s \u2013 by Flavio Tullio who returned the car back to its original \u201cAntique Automobiles\u201d livery. In 2005, 701\/8 was bought by Peter Schleiffer who sold the car to its current owner in 2008. Since then, 701\/8 has been very well maintained and participated in no less than five Monaco Historic GPs, the last one in 2018.<\/p>\n 701\/8 is offered for sale in excellent and race-ready condition with a current FIA HTP and fuel cell valid until 2025. The DFV engine \u2013 rebuilt by Richardson – has 7 hours on it and all other date related items are current. Spares consist of a set of wheels, a complete spare body, various gear-ratio\u2019s and miscellaneous running spares.<\/p>\n This is a rare opportunity to own an early 70\u2019s F1 car driven by legendary Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson which would be an asset to any serious F1 collection while also being highly eligible for the prestigious Monaco Historic Grand Prix.<\/p>\n Where to Buy RMD is offering this 1970 ex-Ronnie Peterson March 701 for sale.
