This was the only car constructed by F1 and Sportscar ace Chris Amon. It was his attempt to follow the likes of Jack Brabham and John Surtees, running the car under Amon Racing.

The New Zealander had little success with the car and shelved the project before development was undertaken. Designed by Gordon Fowell, the F101 featured a single, central fuel tank and titanium torsion bars. The car did not run for over thirty years until it was acquired by current owner Ron Maydon who races it in the Masters series.
