Secret identities and missing parts: F1’s most mysterious team

In December 1973, Formula 1 midfielder Howden Ganley received a mysterious phone call.

In broken English, someone spoke of a new Formula 1 team arriving from Japan. The New Zealander assumed someone was pranking him, but as the calls continued and the March team for which he was racing struggled for cash, he agreed to meet these mystery men at the Pizzaland in Earl’s Court, London.
