1969 Winkelmann WDF-1

The manufacturer of the car was an English-based company called Palliser. When the cars were sold in the United States, they were called Winkelmann. The US Importer of the cars was a Californian named Bob Winkelmann - thus the name of the US-based cars.

Palliser was founded by Lola and Brabham designer Lem Wimhurst. The early cars raced in Formula B and enjoyed a rather successful career. The Winkelmann/Palliser monoposotos were raced in Europe, Canada, and the United States. Their cars raced in a variety of Formula series including Formula Ford, Formula Super V, Formula Libre, Formula 2, and Formula 3. The company would cease operations in 1972.

Forty-one examples of the 1969 Winkelmann WDF-1 Formula Ford were built.
