Crossle 15F Chevy F5000 engine
John Crosslé built Ford-engined specials in County Down (N. Ireland) in the late 1950's before producing his first customer cars in 1960. His eighth design, the Crosslé 8F, was a 1965 libre special using a Ford V8 engine, effectively a F5000 car three years too early. After a crash, this was rebuilt as the 10F for 1966.
He built his first - and only - FA/F5000 design in late 1968 with the cars appearing in 1969 and 1970. No further F5000s appeared from the Knocknagoney factory but at least one of the 15Fs kept running into the mid-1970s.
The USA cars used Chevy V8 engines, the European F5000 ran a Rover V8.
