The problem area always will be for us, the people in the U.K. who broke cars up as spares, and the other big problem is that some cars did , 1] not do much work, and 2] were used by non famous people , and/or in club events.

Breaking up of race cars over here virtually did not happen , as the cost with import duties of a new car was substantial , so the cars kept on being updated with bigger wheels , chassis stiffening , different eng. for a new formula etc. so the cars were in most cases still extant, where over your side of the pond , when it was a few years old , there was a fair chance that it was used a source of spares.

While searching amongst old programmes for info on BT21s, I came across an entry in a F Ford race at Thruxton 22-8-71. The details, as printed were "Tonny Hansen Brabham BT21/35 blue/white". Seems to be one of the cars in the advert, but may be confusion over what to call the bodywork. It seems to have practised, but did not race.
