Motorsport Moment – The AVS Shadow Mk. 1

Don Nichols’ New AVS Shadow Mk. 1

Where: Mosport / Date: June 14, 1970

Don Nichols’ new AVS Shadow Mk. 1 made its first public appearance at the Labatt’s Blue Trophy race at Mosport, June 14, 1970. Its amazingly minimal frontal area got a lot of attention, and George Follmer drove it—which took some courage. The car retired from the race with overheating just past quarter-distance.
