The Protos was a wingless Formula 2 racing car that appeared in 1967.
Powered by the then-standard Ford-Cosworth 1600cc FVA-engine, it was noticeable for its slippery aerodynamic Frank Costin design, with an almost-enclosed 'bubble' canopy over the cockpit and a chassis partially made of the very light but fragile plywood.
Although fairly quick on fast tracks, it did not become a front runner and did not score wins during the European F2 season.
Drivers included Brian Hart and Pedro Rodríguez.
