M2A - 1965
This was an early exercise in producing a Mallite monocoque and was the team’s first single seat design by Robin Herd. The car was the base for development of the Formula 1 car and served Firestone very well as a test vehicle. It used Traco Oldsmobile and Ford V8 engines. The car was never raced, but many lessons from its testing were incorporated into the M2B.
