The log book identifies Mike Rand transferring it to Tom Speed in May 1972, then to Ira de Vaugn in June 1972, and then to General Marsh in Aug 1986. I bought it from General Marsh (a Cleveland are veternarian) around 1987. At that time it had a 1600CC OHV Ford. It has since been restored with a Lotus twin cam and currently resides in Northern California.
A few years after I purchased it, Mike Fitzgerald called and provided the following ownership train:
1967 - Frank Williams, driven by Piers Courage
1968 - P&M Race Prep, driven by John Epton and Keith Jupp
1968- Fred Opert
1968- Chuck Schroderele
1970 - Mike Rand
1970 - Carl Bergman
Pat Dundas
1978 - Mike Rand
1980- Tom Speed & IG Spencer
However, parts of this are inconsistent with the log book. Can anyone help clarify and/or document the trail?
Thanks  |
Karl Bergmann was racing a Brabham BT21 in FC as late as 1975.
This can't be the car that goes from Schroedel to Rand in 1970. That car was owned by John Lindsay in 2005 and maybe still is. It has documented history from Schroedel in 1969 onwards. It doesn't have a plate either. It's alleged to be one of Peter Westbury's F3 cars, but if it is it must be his 1968 BT21B as the 1967 cars are known in UK up to 1972.
