This might help anyone looking for missing BT16s:
According to Canadian Track & Traffic (Feb 1969), Rob Leeson bought the ex-Bridges BT16. THis car, according to the article, had been built in Sep 1965 for Frank Lythgoe and was raced by Bob Anderson, Alan Rollinson and Mike Beckwith in F2. In the spring of 1967 it was bought by David Bridges for Brian Redman to drive. The 997cc SCA was bored out to 1592cc by Bridges mechanics and raced until Bridges Lola T100 turned up.
Bought by Leeson in Jan 1968, it was almost immediately crashed at Brands. While being repaired it was fitted with a twin-cam and raced again in Sep 1968 when he picked up a couple of libre wins. Leeson planned to use it in the 1969 Canadian series.
