Information in the Registry comes from you, the enthusiast. We depend on your expertise and knowledge to keep the Registry current.
Please note: The Palliser Registry is not confirming originality by listing owners. Cars on the Registry are subject to verification.
The photo links-to-chassis-numbers (indicated by the chassis or model number being green) is up to 56 out of the 102 cars listed. If your car is listed, but lacks a photo, please send me a photo of it. Original owners are indicated in orange.

PLEASE NOTE: On the old site you were able to click on the chassis number & a photo of the car would appear in a new tab. That is no longer the case. With this new site, when you click on the link, you will be asked if you want to download the photo file. If you say yes, it will go to your download file & you can open it from there.

You will see a number of empty chassis entries for both the WDF3s & WDF4s. Many were sold as kits without chassis plates & therefore chassis numbers, the result being they are not reflected below.

Model: WD3, Formula 3

Year: 1970

Number built: 3 (First & Second Gen Cars)

Cars in Registry: 2

The F3 car histories are difficult to follow because the model number was frequently confused with the FF cars of the same generation. Palliser ID'd their F3 cars as "WD3-xxx" the x's being the chassis number, whereas the FFs were "WDF3-xxx".

More F3 cars were built than Palliser recorded, so a second generation of chassis is included below. The first gen car is identified as "WD31" followed by a chassis number & the second generation identified as "WD32", followed by the chassis number.
