The McEntee formula Junior chassis was constructed by Eric Nichols in 1962 for Stan McEntee.

Like many of the car of the period it was based upon the Elfin Catalina.
The car ran a non cross flow 1100 engine fitted with twin 40 DCOE webbers, tuned extractors, Cosworth camshaft, dry sump coupled to a modified VW rear end fitted with Hollinger ratios.

During the 1960's and 1970's divers of circuit cars were not allowed to compete in events which were not sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS).
Stan McEntee was also a successful speedway driver and was not able to compete at both events.
Apart from a few tuning/practice days and hill climbs the car saw little action.

In frustration the car was sold to Ray Coleman in 1973 and was to be converted to a Formula Ford

In 1981 it was then sold to Dave Sullivan in 1981 and sat until acquired by Neil McCrudden in 2000
The car was restored back to it formula junior and has seen a great amount of action since 2001

The car is currently driven by Gordon Smythe.
