A friend owned this car for many years and rebuilt it in his own style--It is for sale in Vancouver, Canada--I have no connection apart from that mentioned and know nothing of the condition of this car.

I saw it at a car show on Vancouver Island not so very long ago. Took some photographs.

It was well looked after at that time.

Per Tom Johnston in 2012:

"Chassis number [SR-3]

In the 1960s, Edmonton racer Don

Burfoot somehow got his hands on this

chassis, one of the three Scirocco

Formula One cars built for the 1500 cc

regulations. The car came without the

originally intended BRM V8 motor.

Burfoot installed a General Motors BOP

aluminum V8 with a Corvair gearbox

and raced the car at the then new

Edmonton International Speedway.

Some thirty odd years later

Vancouver motor sport historian Ralph

Zbarsky was made aware of an

advertisement that appeared in an

Edmonton newspaper offering a used

Formula One car for sale. It had been

sitting outside on a farm for a very long

time. Zbarsky brought it to Vancouver and

sold it to Dave Trueman who is

restoring it in his shop in Delta near

Vancouver."

Car ran #64 Don Burfoot at MacDonald, Manitoba, National Championship Races, 1-2 July 1967, 9th in 3rd race, 14th in 6th race.

In 1968 Burfoot was a member of the Northern Alberta Sports Car Club.

Entered #2, Race 2, at Klondike Trail 200, Can-Am series event, Speedway Park, Edmonton, Alberta, 29 September 1968.
