According to Vercoe, a duplicate chassis was built in the late 1960s and this went to Barney Pellow who drove it in the 1970 New Zealand GP. It would have been running as a New Zealand National Formula 1600cc car at that time but became a Formula Ford some time later.
Should I think of this Pellow car as a BT6 or a BT9?

Denis is right - the Sager car was a BT6. I think Vercoe (or his source) must have misread the number
I never heard of the Pellow duplication until Vercoe's book came out (1990?). I still have difficulty with it, as the original and the 'clone' never seemed to race at the same time. I wonder if in fact the so-called cloning was simply a replacement frame for the original BT6
