andrewc should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I think the Formula Palmer Cars are now what PalmerSport call the "F3000" used on their experience days at Bedford Autodrome, but powered by a Jaguar sourced V6 instead of the Audi turbo engine.

The FIA F2 cars were also maintained centrally, and I suspect if someone wealthy enough came along and made an offer, they could be sold, because you would be buying a ready made race championship with cars and spare parts that would require minor upgrades before being race usable again.

I'm not sure what happened to the old GP3 cars. I presume the tubs were owned by the individual teams or drivers, and I would expect engines to be leased, but what about electronics / gearboxes?
