Hi George,

It sounds like you had as much fun with #8 as I did, i ran it with a BDA to start with and then bought the FVA that I guess you had when it went to you,

Hi Andrew. Yes, it was a great car. The look of those Brabhams was an aquired taste, but I love them. Cosworth didn't make too many mistakes with their engines either. The FVA was a very special engine. I have been fortunate enough to drive Cosworth engines up to the DFV in my McLaren and they all made great music.

Has it really been two and a half years since anyone has posted on this thread?

I think I've read all 678 posts while researching a couple articles about Brabham racecars.

Here's a link to the first of the articles:
Brad Baker's Brabham BT30 Racecar, BT30-7
(with 52 color photos)



Please don't hesitate to let me know if you spot any inaccuracies in the text.

Absolutely stunning, thanks for posting.

I am sure you know but just in case you don't you can get rubber boots for the steering arms. Also the bracket that the accelerator pivots from holds a small bolt in that hole to act as a return stop.
Great to see a wonderful piece of history returned to glory.

If we assume the journo only got the DFV bit and the BT35 bit wrong, let's explore the Pesca angle.

Pescarolo drove two BT30s, BT30-15, later with Martin Webb in libre in 1972; and BT30-26, later to Bobby Howlings and in the hands of George Dudley at the end of 1971. Both are definite contenders. Both are unknown until recent times.

"Lancashire Clubmen David Ward & Stan Billington are campaigning an old Brabham BT35 orginally driven by Henri Pescarolo".

It goes on to say that the pair will compete "in a variety of sprints, hillclimbs and Club Races this season"

It then concludes "The DFV Powered F1 car is sponsored by Stein Lager" Obviously the DFV bit is slightly off!


Hi guys

Bit of a newbie here searching for stuff on my grandad. Stan Billington. He confirms it was a BT35.
