Extra March 761s

Apart from the eight original March 761s, there are (by 2021) nine additional 761s that cannot be connected to any of the original entities. The first of these appeared in early 1990, and by mid-1992, there were a total of three unexplained 761s, one of which could be original. Two of these have raced regularly in Historic Grand Prix events in the US. By 2006, a fourth car had appeared in a museum in Germany. When the FIA started to allow "continuation cars", two more 761s were built in the UK in 2007/2008, and then another two in 2012/2013, bringing the total of "extra" 761s to eight. A ninth was offered by Bonhams in 2014, having been in France for some years, and is now in Italy. Rumours surfaced in May 2018 of a tenth additional 761 being constructed.

Despite strenuous attempts, it has not yet been possible to verify the claimed history of any of these nine cars. One was built openly as a replica, and one is likely to be 761-4, but the origins of the others remain unresolved.

The March 75A/761

It should be noted that the Formula 5000 March 75A was rebuilt with a 761 monocoque in 1977, and was then fitted with a Cosworth DFV engine later that year. That car still exists and also raced in Masters F1 in 2015 and 2016, still in that updated 761 specification.
