From Brabham production tables it seems that 26 BT15 and 21 BT16 F2/3 were produced in 1965. How can we confirm if it was BT15 or 16?
From records and after speaking with someone who assisted in live to Blokdyk's crash, I would have no doubt that it was in September 1965.
This person told me that he hit a bale of straw from the front end and the car rolled over a few times.
He didn't race until May next year due to major injuries.

I've been in touched with Jean-Bernard Sulpice in 2018 (Jean Sulpice is the french singer by the way). He confirmed me by email that the chassis he bought to Blokdyk was not crashed.
Sulpice sold it (ad published in Sport Auto magazine, n°78 - July 1968) to a swiss guy in 1968 (he doesn't remember the name, but only to have performed the VAT exemption process...) without the engine that he kept for his pygmee. Would it be linked with Sbarro and AM56 with twin cam...?!
Attached some pictures of the car shared by Sulpice, I have no legend on it.
I wonder if the wrecked car did not end up somewhere and if Blokdyk didnt go with another one after he recovered?!
Unfortunately my investigations does not allow to specify who did the repair.
But I know that this car has never been used (even in races/events) since Hugon sold it. He had it in order to train himself for 1975 "Volant Shell".
I do believe the repairs were done before.
