Bryan Miller should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Wayne,
Re. my message on the Brabham site,re. the adjustable rear ride height set up.
As I said FJ-8-62 had this, and this was Franks works car,BUT the other driver at the factory was Tasmanian Gavin Youl, who started his season a little later than Frank.

Nominally FJ-1-61 , was the MRD.
Thence FJ-2-62 , was to be Franks car , but it was sold to Briggs Cunningham in the U.S.A. afaik.
So FJ-3-62 , I bet became Franks car for early in the season ,certainly this was Gavin Youls car , as at the end of the season he returned to Australia with it and it is still here , complete with chassis plate.
FJ-4-62 , don't think I know , could be yours.??
FJ-5-62 went to France , Jean Moench. spelling?
FJ-6-62 to the Late Bob Olthoff with a BMC 1098 , then an 1100cc Ford and ended up as a road car in S.E.Asia, before coming to OZ in the 80's , sold a few years ago to/via Len Selby U.K.
FJ-7-62 , ????
FJ-8-62 , as stated Franks works car, and my theory is Frank started the season in FJ-3-62 , that then went to Gavin Youl , and Frank built himself a new one.
FJ-9/10/11/ ,don't think I know ,as I am doing this all from memory.
FJ-12-62 , ex factory 28-12-1962, via Frank Gardner for Alec Mildren Racing for customer David Walker.

Lets see what anybody else can add , or correct if I got it wrong .

Bryan.
