Russell-Alexis? That was one of the first formula Ford cars from 1967/68 -- built in the UK.

Alexis was a British race car manufacturer and came to a marketing agreement with the famous Jim Russell Racing Drivers School at Snetterton to help promote their new car, the Mk14 in 1967. Hence the Russell-Alexis Formula Ford with 1600cc Cortina GT engine.

Intl Formula Junior finished at end of 1963.Did Australia have their own version? FF only started in england mid 1967.Only started to be exported in 68.

Roth.
The Australian connection came from Bill Harris , who together with Alex Francis formed Alexis cars in 1959 in the U.K. Prior to the F.Ford range of cars , were F.Juniors, F3 and F2 . Apparently 57 production Russell- Alexis cars were build ,prior to Russell's Racing driver school reverting back to the Lotus fold. Bill Harris lived about 5 miles from me and passed away about 4/5 years ago. Bryan. |
