That number is likely to have been applied the first time the car appeared in SCCA competition. This means we're either talking about a national-level race that happened to be in Florida (Sebring?) or it was something at local club level which suggests the owner was from Florida. The Formula B championship in 1967/68 did not include any visits to Florida so that suggests we're looking for a Florida owner.
As I know from my F5000 research, relatively few "formula car" drivers were from Florida. This could be a very useful lead.
Do we know who raced 12Fs? I can only find Ned Owen (from Bridgehampton 67), Bruce Klussman (from War Bonnet 67; seen again in 68), Roger Barr (from St Jovite 67; seen again in 68) and Jacques Couture (68 onwards). I think Klussman and Barr were from the US north-east and Couture was Canadian. Ned Owen was from Malvern, PA. OK - so that didn't get me very far!
Am I helping at all?
