1979 Crossle 35F

The first Crossle 35F models were produced for the 1979 season. It was built to Formula Ford specifications, fitted with a Ford 1600cc engine.

The Crossle Car Company began producing racing vehicles as early as the 1960s and quickly gained a reputation for creating safe, sturdy, and reliable machines. During the 1970s, they were imported to the US by Skip Barber. Some of Crossles more renowned and competitive machines were the 32F and the 35F. The 32F was produced in 1977-1978 and followed by the 35F in 1979.

The Crosslé Car Company was founded by John and Rosemary Crosslé in 1957 and soon established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality racing cars for those wishing to participate in the expanding motor-sport scene after the war. John Crosslé's attention to detail and value for money ideals, coupled with good design and sensible strong construction, soon led to a rapidly expanding company.

Early beginnings in 1172 Ford Specials soon led to the building of replicas for John's friends. Formula Juniors and sports cars soon followed. Single seaters encompassed Formula Two and Formula 5000. The company became a real-world leader when the formula Ford class was formed and was soon leading the field in both Europe and America.

Crosslé Cars soon became established as one of the leading racing car manufacturers in the world, and certainly the largest producer of competitive cars in Ireland. Many Irish drivers who went on to international success started their careers in a Crosslé Formula Ford.
