Further info:
The Dolphin Formula Junior cars were financed by former tuna fisherman Bud Hull of San Diego, and designed by Briton John Crosthwaite; previously of Cooper and Lotus. The Fiat-engined MKIs proved uncompetitive, but the lower, lighter International (aka MKII) with body by Troutman and Barnes showed promise, especially in the hands of Ken Miles (2nd, Pomona, March 1961) and Kurt Neumann (1st, Riverside, June 1962). This tidy International is reputedly chassis No.3 and had a Ford engine and VW/Hewland transmission from new. It was raced by Bruce Trenery of Fantasy Junction before being laid up and then restored in the '90s. The vendor has owned it for 16 years but never driven it in anger. The engine was overhauled c.15 years ago and the transmission c.four years ago. The car last ran at a Mallory Park test day, c.2010. It is offered complete with FIA/HTP papers, engine dyno print out and history folder.
