To flesh out the T41 story with some more names, and bring things up to date:
F2-2-56 was raced in Australia by Aussie Miller 1958-60, then Doug Kelley to 1964, and Stan Mossetter and Vince Carsberg briefly after that. Passing through several other hands, the car was with Peter Williams in 2000 and he is believed to be the current owner.
F2-3-56, the other Australian car, was raced by Alec Mildren in 1957, then Arthur Griffiths 1957/58, John Roxburgh 1958/60 and Lyn Archer. As late as 1965 Ross Ambrose was campaigning it in Tasmanian hillclimbs, still presumably with the Hillman engine Archer had fitted. It has been owned by Tom Roberts since 1984
F2-4-56 was raced in NZ by Syd Jensen 1957, Ron Frost 1958, Tony Shelly 1959, David Evans briefly in 1960, Duncan Mackenzie 1960/61 (and Chris Amon in one race) and Bruce Abernethy from December 1962 until 1966. After a handful of subsequent appearances it was run in hillclimbs and sprints by Charlie Bensemann in 1968/69, before Bill Clark acquired it two or three years later.
After returning to Europe it was sold in 2000 to German driver Max Blees, then raced once by John Harper in 2004, before changing hands once again.
F2-1-57 was raced in southern Africa by John Guthrie 1957/58, Roy Humphries 1959/60, then Mike Harris (with Borgward engine) 1961. It continued in competition, though no longer at the top level, until being acquired by Ivan Glasby in 1973. He took it to Australia with him when he subsequently emigrated, and in 1984 sold it to John Caffin. It was still owned by Caffin ten years later, but I have no information after that.
F2-2-57, which may or may not really be F2-1-56, was owned by Ken Moore for many years, then Bill Coombs in 1984, and since 1987 by Gerry Hann and Allan Miles.
