Formula Ford

Alex Francis and Bill Harris formed the original Alexis brand in the 1950s to produce small open-wheel vehicles for Formula Junior. In 1967, the Formula Ford spec series was finalized, and Jim Russell worked in concert with Alexis to manufacture one of the first series-specific chassis, the Russell-Alexis Mk.14, which were used at Russell's racing school.

Powered by a 1.6L mostly-stock Ford, the series became an affordable entry point for open wheel racing, with drivers such as James Hunt getting their career started in early Formula Fords.

This vehicle has been modified slightly to meet modern safety standards, including a taller roll hoop and onboard fire suppression, but is otherwise how it would have raced in the 60s.
