The Ralt RT1 is a race car chassis produced by Ralt, and was the first modern car produced by the company. It saw widespread use in a number of different motorsports categories, mostly open-wheel racing, but later including sports car racing. It was powered by a number of different four-cylinder engines of about 1.6 L (98 cu in) in displacement, of different origin, including Hart, Cosworth, Toyota, and Volkswagen engines.

Anson Cars was a British racing car constructor.
The Lotus 55 was an open-wheel Formula 3 racing car used as a one-off by British motorsport team Lotus in 1968.
The 1985 British Formula Three Championship was the 35th season of the British Formula Three Championship. Maurício Gugelmin took the BARC/BRDC Marlboro British Formula 3 Championship.
The March 693 was a Formula 3 racing car built and used by March Engineering in 1969. It was powered by a naturally aspirated, 997 cc, Ford 105E straight-four engine, producing 120 hp (89 kW), and weighing in at a tiny 400 kg (880 lb).
The Chevron B38 was an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by Chevron Cars, for both Formula Atlantic and Formula 3 racing, in 1977. It was powered by the Toyota/Novamotor PFT 2T-G 2.0 L (120 cu in) inline-four engine; which was good for 170 hp (130 kW). This drove the rear wheels through a Hewland five-speed manual transmission. The chassis was constructed out of a lightweight aluminum monocoque. This gave the car an overall weight of 992 lb (450 kg).
The Cooper T76 is an open-wheel Formula 3 race car, designed, developed and built by British manufacturer Cooper in 1965. It was powered by either a 1.0 L (61 cu in) Cosworth MAE or BMC naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine, which drove the rear wheels through a Hewland Mk5/6 manual transmission. It also featured reworked front and rear suspension, as well as variable anti-roll bars. Chassis design and construction was a tubular space frame. The car was essentially a modified variant of the previous T72. The rocker arm leverage ratio at the front of the car was altered from 2:1 to 1:3 to aid in the location and life of the shock absorber. The "anti-squat" system out of the rear suspension, and variable Armstrong shocks were installed. Rear-facing radius rods were linked to the front rocker arms to mitigate the forces felt under braking.
The Cooper T83 is an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by British manufacturer Cooper, for Formula 3 categories, in 1966. It was an evolution of the previous T76. It was powered by a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) BMC four-cylinder engine, developing 88 hp (66 kW) @ 7,750 rpm, which had a 12.5:1 compression ratio. The chassis used was a tubular space frame, while the body was constructed as a semi-stressed skin. The front suspension was altered to widen the front track and minimise the leverage rate of the front shock absorbers. The rear suspension was also totally reworked, to equal the symmetry of the T81 Formula One car. The car was not successful. It suffered severe understeer, due to the undertray of the car being "flat-bottomed" in design, almost creating aerodynamic vortices under the car, and affecting its ground effect properties. Only 7 models were produced. A developmental version of the car used a larger Cosworth SCB Formula Two engine. It entered more than 5 races, and claimed one pole position, but didn't finish that particular race; with the wheel coming off, and achieved no further success after that.
The Cooper T85 was an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by British manufacturer Cooper, for Formula Three racing categories, in 1967. It was their 16th and final Formula 3 car. It was powered by a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) BMC four-cylinder engine, developing around 88 hp (66 kW) @ 7,750 rpm, and had a 12.5:1 compression ratio. Only two models were produced. It used inboard front suspension, and was very similar in design to its predecessor. It is known to have entered one race at Brands Hatch in 1967, being driven by Les Leston, but did not end up finish the race. A Ford-powered version of the car entered a second race at Montlhéry in 1968, also without any success.
