Founded in 1969 by Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Graham Coaker, and Robin Herd with the acronym MARCH derived from their initials the British outfit established itself as one of the most prolific teams in motorsport history. The March 871 embodies the manufacturer’s ambitious return to Formula 1, coinciding with the dawn of the new naturally aspirated era.
Featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque and powered by a 3.5L Ford Cosworth V8, this single-seater holds significant historical importance: it was among the first to benefit from the aerodynamic developments of Adrian Newey.
This specific chassis, No. 03, was campaigned by Ivan Capelli at the 1987 Japanese Grand Prix, sporting the iconic "Leyton Blue" livery.
Having undergone a complete restoration and now track-ready, this stunning March F1 represents a rare opportunity to acquire an 1980s icon.
