Birrana
Can people add more about the Birrana cars that ran in Australian F2 in the 1970s and then in the Atlantic series?
Two of these cars appeared in Britain in 1975 Atlantic, entered by Bob and Marj Brown for Bobby Muir and Dean Hosking. Then an F2 car raced in Europe in 76 before the Browns bought a Chevron B35 for Muir to use.
Were the Browns entrants who happened to bring over a couple of chassis for Australian drivers, or was this a works operation running in Britain?
We seem to have chassis numbers for most of the Birranas that are appearing in the Tasman and Gold Star. Can anyone throw any light on the identity of the two British cars? At the moment they are [1] and [2] in my records - which is almost certainly wrong. Most race reports don't even give a model number, but I have an entry list from Snetterton in June 75 which describes them as Birrana 273s.
