Mistrale built a F Ford in 1968 that was raced with some success by Syd Fox including winning the first F Ford race to be held in Austria. They announced that they would be building both a F3 and a F5000 car for 1969, and January 1969 they reported the F3 car would be ready in March and would be driven by Bev Bond. This seemed to be as far as it went, Bond joined another team and the F3 Mistrale (and the F5000) appear to have been stillborn.
