The Edwards car is the car last run by Duane Wilson in hillclimbs.
Q. Is the whereabouts of the Skelton P6 Bowin FF known?
Q. It is looking more and more like the FF was converted to F2 and re-plated.

That is correct.
Skelton won the 72 FF DTE Championship in his P4A.
He then took deliver of his new P6F and took it to Sandown where he practised the new car but didn't race it. He then took this car to England (Oct 72) for the FF World Cup Final at Brands Hatch and then the FF Festival at Snetterton.
Whilst in the UK he bought a Hart engine and bought the Bowin and the engine back to Australia where John Joyce converted it to F2 spec and Skelton used it to finish 3rd in the ANF2 championship.
