Thanks

The Paul Edwards chassis has been identified as BT38-17

Still no nearer to cracking the John Hart chassis number!

At the HRA web , www.hra-online.de are for sale described as , 1] ex Ulf Svennson BT38 F3 , described as chassis plate on car , however # not given , and also as a partly basket case, 2] ex. Wison Fittipaldi BT38 F2 , plate on car however not given , should be BT38-25.
Also still at www.carclassic.com is poor old BT38-23 , chassis plate in photo. This should be the Uniacke Chemicals car of Richard Scott at Thruxton in April 1972 , thence after that the F.I.R.S.T. car of Peter Westbury.

Anuauto has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
From Jimmy Fuller, Antigua, 6 December 2006:
The BT38 he used in 1973 UK F3 was run from a unit at the rear of Frank Williams' premises in Slough and was sold at end of season in UK (with 3 engines-Holbay, Vegantune and Novamotor-,Transit van and trailer) for £1000. No chassis number known.

In discussion with NW USA racer Mike Rocke about his cars we got round to his first FB car, a BT38. Rocke bought the car in Maidenhead in early 1975, but the interesting thing is that he says it had an FVA engine!
There are a lot of BT38s floating around unknown in 1974-75, but does anyone have a hint of someone using one in libre or sprint/hillclimbs with an FVA?

I went to Harewood (August) and Prescott (September) in 1974. There was just the one BT38 entered and that was Alister Douglas-Osborn's car which had a BDG engine installed and went on to become the Pilbeam R22.

Autosprint lists Obrist's car as a BT36. As it was said to have a FVA engine, I'd be inclined to believe BT36 rather than BT38.

Roman - where is it listed as being a BT38?

Only one race (1972 Freiburg - EHC) listed as Brabham BT 36 F3, in 1969 Brabham 1150, in 1970-71 Brabham 1300, so it could be a mistake

Just spotted this. Coarosa ran a March 722 in 1973 and 1974. Can't remember who it was ex off hand but I'll wade back in and find that.

But in the meantime...

We have some competition for ex-Potocki BT38s. Echappement (May 1976 p72) carries an interview with Michel Lateste and says that he bought the ex-Potocki BT38 for 1974. The car was in pieces when he bought it. He ran it until mid-1975 and then bought the ex-Philippe Hesnault March 742. Can't see it yet in 1976.

Allen, that looks fine, we know that Potocki and Jaussaud switched cars - indeed, we can identify the point at which it happened. So both the team's BT38s could reasonably be described as ex Potocki. however, 18 was Jaussaud's car for most of the season [until he bent it badly] and 24 Potocki's [Jaussaud used it to maintain his chase for the championship when Brabham couldn't replace 18 in time, and Potocki drove it bent]
So that suggests that Lateste used 24.

Coarasa told me he did have the 74B for hillclimbs.

So does that mean the Opert thing was a red herring?

De Adamich drives a BT38 at Caracas that Autosport says is 'ex Jaussaud'. However, given that AS was running a three sentence story off someone else's wire, I wouldn't place too great a reliability on't. He'd got three Rondel BT38s at that point anyway.

If a car was both ex-Potocki and ex-Jaussaud, does it strike you as odd that a French team would later describe it as ex-Potocki rather than ex-Jaussaud?

Just thinking out loud...

Well it was sold and I know the guy who bought it! He is currently undeceided on what to do (a) restore as is for Speed Events, or (b) restore as a BT38.

I'll keep you posted.

Allen

ex Potocki or ex Jaussaud, depends on how class obsessed they were.
After all Potocki's family goes back a long way in the Franco-polonaise nobility - his grand-dad was a chum of Proust's
Could also, more seriously, be shorthand for Potocki team car

Jimmy Fuller's BT38 in 1973 F3 is described by Autosport as 'ex Chris O'Brien' AS 13.5.73 p. 22
Don't know chassis number for that one
