Fire up the March

South Africa's Charles Arton had to bring his March 79B back from the dead

Fire up the March

THIS MARCH 79B, chassis 21, was raced by F1 driver Derek Daly in Formula Atlantic in America in the late 1970s. I bought the car from the States in 2012, shipped it out to Cape Town and raced it for a bit and then, realising how special it was, decided to have it fully rebuilt. I took the car to Steve Humble of Harp Motorsport - he came out to South Africa supporting David Piper decades ago and, thank goodness, stayed. He carried out a total restoration, down to the last rivet.

Don't judge a book by its cover

TO ASSUME the creation of Hervé Valliet is yet another Lotus Seven imitator would be utterly wrong. A quiet perfectionist and entrepreneur from the Isére region in the French Alps near Grenoble, he has owned numerous sports cars, such as Caterham, Wiesmann, TVR - even a Ronart W152.

The Magic of a Shadow

Even today, when prices for a good Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow have risen to a level vaguely commensurate with their stunning quality, these are still hugely undervalued cars - victims of their own success, because lots of them are still around.
