At the recent Monaco Historic Grand Prix, we were treated to no fewer than four examples of the March 701 Cosworth. Among them were the first two chassis constructed, which were raced in period by Chris Amon and Jackie Stewart to several wins. Among them was Stewart's Spanish Grand Prix victory, the very last for a customer Formula 1 car. Both of these chassis had subsequently been displayed in museums for many years; the ex-Amon car famously spent nearly four decades stuck on the wall in the Donnington Grand Prix Collection. Both have recently been carefully restored to full running order to star at Monaco. In addition to the four cars shot at Monaco this year, our article is illustrated by shots of another two chassis, which made appearances at previous editions of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. Also grabbing headlines at Monaco were RM Auctions with their highly successful sale. Among the stars were this Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa and Rondeau M378 Cosworth, both of which can boast a contemporary racing career spawning almost a decade.
