1959 Huffaker BMC Mk 1 Formula Junior

This classic racing car is a 1959 Huffaker built around the British Motor Corporation (BMC) Mk 1 Formula Junior chassis. Its distinctive features include a unique fiberglass body designed by Pete Huffaker that was lighter and sleeker than its contemporaries, enhancing its speed and agility on the racetrack. The vehicle retains its original Coventry Climax FWA engine producing 109 horsepower from only 1.1 liters, demonstrating an impressive power-to-weight ratio. To ensure optimal handling, it comes equipped with rack-and-pinion steering and a close-ratio four-speed gearbox. Notable for its time, this Huffaker BMC Mk 1 is one of the few Formula Junior cars built in the United States during its era.
