We have at least 6 BT21 series cars over here , but to keep Chris in suspense I will list slowly.
One will sort out one of your sprint cars , namely BT21A-9 .
Sold new to Tony Griffith August 1967 , and quoting letter from Mr. Griffiths to the then owner Max Lane of Ausrtralia , dated 6th. March 1984.
Used mainly for hillclimbs , but from time to time used in races at Silverstone. Eng. was Ford Vegantune Twin -cam, 1588cc. British Racing Green [ specifically Winkleman green ] with a white nose band.
The car was sold in June 1969 to Tom Elton who owned a B.L. dealership in Westbury Wilshire.
We also have a letter dated 6-6-1984 from George Thornton at Brabhams advising car sold to Mr. Griffiths on 5-8-1967 , with eng. no. C13670609 and gearbox no. H5/163.
In the period 1969 - 1974 the following owners , John Brown, John Ravenscroft and then Rodger Hartley .
We then have a letter from Geoffrey Jackson advising he purchased car from Roger Hartley on 7th April 1974 complete with eng and gearbox, he sold car as a rolling chassis to Peter Bloore , date not specified.

Peter Bloore appears to have owned car 1981-2 thence Chris Crawford 1982-4 , then purchased by Max Lane from Australia , the restoration was primarily done in the U.K. before the car came over here , Max Lane owned the car untill 1991 , when it was sold to Junee resident Mike Broso , who used the car continuosly untill sold to Canberra resident Ron Coath who retains.
