The March 722 holds a significant place in the storied history of junior formula racing, particularly in the highly competitive Formula Atlantic series of the early 1970s. Following on the heels of the successful 712M, the 722 was designed by Robin Herd and Geoff Ferris, evolving March's proven spaceframe chassis with subtle refinements to aerodynamics and suspension geometry. March Engineering, a dominant force in customer racing, produced a substantial number of 722s, making them a common sight on grids across Europe and North America. These nimble, Cosworth BDA-powered machines were the training ground for future F1 stars and delivered thrilling, wheel-to-wheel action, cementing their legacy as one of the quintessential Formula Atlantic cars. This particular 1972 March 722 presents an exceptional opportunity for vintage racing enthusiasts. Having undergone a meticulous restoration by Bert Skidmore's renowned Intrepid Motorcars—a testament to its quality, as it served as Skidmore's personal race car—this example is prepared for immediate track duty. It features a freshly built 1.6L Cosworth 4-cylinder engine by Vegher, with minimal run time, ensuring peak performance and reliability. Enhanced with desirable 76B updates and numerous titanium components, this 722 benefits from modern preparation techniques while retaining its classic character. Offered in race-ready condition and accompanied by a comprehensive spares package, this March 722 is poised to deliver an authentic and exhilarating vintage racing experience.
