Token F1. Designed by Ray Jessop for Ron Dennis. Should have been called a Motul  Rondel (as were the F2 cars) but for a change of plan.

Yes indeed - originally planned as an F1 car for Rondel Racing, designed by Ray Jessop. Strictly speaking, in this photo it's the Safir, renamed after the project foundered and it was raced in British F1 events, but it's the same car.
