The Car’s History
In 1962 Jim Hall and Hap Sharp formed Chaparral Cars, Inc. and immediately began the design and construction of Chaparral 2, a mid-engine car with an aerospace inspired semi-monocoque fiberglass chassis.
In 1967 Chaparral introduced the 2F, a high winged coupe for World Championship Endurance Racing. It set the fastest lap in five of its eight entries and won its final race at Brands Hatch. Partnered by Mike Spence, Phil Hill scored his very last win in the Brands Hatch 500 driving the Jim Hall Chaparral 2F, beating the second placed Ferrari P4 of Stuart and Amon at Brands Hatch, July 30, 1967.
The Scalextric model
Scalextric has modeled the only surviving 2F, which is still owned by Jim Hall. It was recently demonstrated at the 2005 Monterey Historic Races and at the famous Goodwood Revival meeting in 2006. The model is finished in a very pure white with the correct decal livery.
