Has anyone got information on an Italian built Delta Formula Ford ?
particularly interested in specification, photographs, number produced, race results, etc.
I am told the cars were produced in 1972 or 1973 and were also advertised in Autosport in those days. Does anyone remember ?
Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you for your help.

I cannot help a lot, I was too young when Delta were racing in Italian Formula Ford.....
However I remember they where based south of Milan, and Cesare Doneda, a racing driver himself, was the boss.
They were also involved in the very early Renault 5 Cup, and produced also Formula Super Ford and F.3 cars.
Back in 1978 the F.3 did very well in the early Italian championship races, driven by Swiss Bruno Pescia who, after the good performances got a ride in a new March 783, run by the Brambilla Brothers. The Brambillas in turn, after the GP Lotteria sacked Pescia to give the car to young sensation Oscar Pedersoli.......
