| Constructed from two type 63's which had been returned to the factory in 1961 in preparation for the 1962 season. The Type 64 involved total revision of the frame in search of better weight distribution and weight reduction. The engine moved forward, which shifted the cockpit further forward, front suspension was improved and a totally new rear end designed which incorporated the use of a De Dion axle - abandoning the independent suspension of the Type 63. Also changed was the positioning of the rear exhausts which were now very low megaphone type, as opposed to the higher placed exhaust on the Type 63. | |||||
