Description
A rare Surtees TS8.
The TS8 was the second Surtees Formula 5000 design and was based on the team's Surtees TS7 Formula 1 car.
It sold well to privateers and won races in Mike Hailwood's hands, but engine problems prevented him topping the table in the 1971 British series.
Built on the same jigs as the TS7, it had the same suspension, wheels and brakes but used a Hewland DG300 gearbox and the wheelbase was some three inches longer due to the longer bell housing.
Like the Cosworth DFV in their F1 car, the Chevy V8 was fully stressed, but the mountings for the rear radius rods were repositioned on the rear bulkhead.
This Surtees, ‘TS8/006’, is one of two cars originally owned by Doug Champlin and Fred Carillo of Champ Carr (Capistrano, CA).
These cars were run for Sam Posey in the US in 1971 and Rocky Moran in 1972.
In 1971, Sam Posey steered this car to second place overall in the Formula 5000 championship finishing just behind David Hobbs' McLaren.
Raced again in the US until 19...
