Chaparral 2H – Can-Am Riverside 1969 – No. 7 – John Surtees

Chaparral 2H – Can-Am Riverside 1969 – No. 7 – John Surtees

Kit: Phoenix Racecars.
Body: Fibreglass (GFRP) with PET, resin and metal parts.
Chassis: Schöler Striker sidewinder, with 4 ball bearings, 3mm steel axles, custom rims, plastic gears and guide, Fox motor, and PU tires.
Weight: 187g.
Built by: Pit Schwaar to absolute perfection (body and chassis), signed and numbered “Pit 10906”.
 
Notes: The car is in perfect condition though it has been raced. It is one of the most challenging, detailed and spectacular models ever designed and built. Only 12 kits were produced and, when this model was bought new, it cost well over CHF 2’500 as it took Pit around 80 hours to build it. The 2H is probably the least liked of Hall’s creations hence its “doorstopper” moniker. It was not a success, and the drivers hated it. Still, it is a unique design and looks out of this world.
 
Price: CHF 2’000
