[David Irwin]

I see I'm pretty late in getting involved here. First a brief intro:

My name is David Irwin, I owned a restoration shop, Lime Rock Motors for 15 years in Connecticut. I've restored about 15 Brabhams, have owned several and have vintage raced since 1989. Recently moved to Virginia, bought some property where I'm putting up a small shop (3200 sq. ft.) while I work for ProtoType Technology Group restoring vintage racing BMW's owneds by BMW of N.A.

Here are some Brabham's I've had contact with:


BT35-26 Needham car TwinCam/MK8, sold to Walt Pawlick.... 2003, Walt told me he was installing a FT200. Wanted to sell or sold the car in 2003.

BT35-41 Log Book back to 1973 shows David Ralston 1973 to 1974, sold to John and Thomas Gloviak 1974 to 1982. Log book shows Formula B with Hart 1600, (2 or 4 valve?), Gloviaks were making some suspension mods, didn't finish, thank goodness, sold to Gene Frings, car just sat, sold to present owner David Irwin 2002 with BDD/FT200.

BT35-44 AM#71 64 ( CL ) Original owner Gray Mickel, 1971, F2 spec car w/ Hart TwinCam (2 or 4 Valve?), changed to FVC. Sold to Rob Turnball 1975. Sold to Fred Edwards 1985, raced Historics 1985 to 1991, restoration not complete 1998?, sold to present owner David Irwin 2001, less engine/FT200.

Hope this helps fill in some gaps for you. Keep up the good work, this info should help many in the future. David Irwin
