The Mallock U2 is a race car, originally designed, developed and built by Ray Mallock Ltd., in 1979. It was originally constructed to compete in a purpose-built front-engined sports prototype cars, called Clubman. It was versatile, as it also competed in Formula Junior, Formula Ford, and Formula Three events.[1][2] The chassis was constructed out of a steel tubular spaceframe, and it was later equipped with a De Dion rear axle, in 1972. It was very light, weighing only 948 lb (430 kg). It was powered by a number of different four-cylinder engines; including an 1,172 cc (71.5 cu in) Ford Sidevalve engine, a smaller 997 cc (60.8 cu in) Ford Kent engine, an 1,100 cc (67 cu in) BMC A-series engine, and even a 1.5–1.6 L (92–98 cu in) Ford-Cosworth SCA/Cosworth FVA engine. This drove the rear wheels through a conventional 4-speed manual transmission; first used in the Austin A30.[3][4][5][6]
