Looking through my copy of the John Rose book, it appears that just 8 G16's were built, of which 7 survive (chassis 001 destroyed at Monterey). Apart from BMW engines, they also used Ford, Coventry Climax and BRM. One also used an Oldsmobile(?) V8. It seems that there were two fitted with BRM units and known as G16A. Ian Tee's and the works car driven by Bev Bond. However, it is also apparent that the works cars were tried withn different units, so this could turn into an interesting exercise, suitable for the chassis archive. Do any survive with the original T bar supported windscreen?
