Cicale Can-Am cars
Tony Cicale built a sports car body for a Ralt RT1 to use in the Single-Seat Can-Am in 1978 and this led to a series of Ralt-based cars.
He modified or refined his car in 1979 and then built a second - or maybe two new ones - in 1980 for himself and Trueman. Later, these bodies appeared on a number of cars and they can't all be explained by those two or three Ralt RT1-based cars. One, known as the Marquey, appeared in 1980 and was said to have been based on a March chassis, possibly a 80A. But photographs of the car on the 'Racing Sports Cars' web site show apparantly identical bodywork to the 1978/79 Ralt-based cars. Could a March 80A really fit under a body designed for a Ralt RT1? How similar were the cars' dimensions? Thanks Allen |
