I am just about to (possibly) purchase a BT35 which was supposedly supplied originally to team Jolly-Club in Milan,with a Wainer
tuned 1600 Alfa unit in unwinged F3 form. Chassis number is 47. Can anyone shed any light on this car in more recent times? Thanks |

pantah.
Welcome aboard , BT35-47 is one that we have no period info on as yet , I believe it is in the U.K. and has been at least since the mid 1990's . This is the car that should have the 1972 AM number AM72-7 , can you confirm please if you purchase. Bryan. |

I bought the car. It is going down to Phil at Connaught engines for the BDA installing. All being well it should be at the Curborough sprint on 7th. September as a bit of a gentle 'test' session.
The car is presently plain deep burgundy red, but we are looking for ideas for an intersting scheme that would have been appropriate in the early 70's. If anyone has any ideas, or colour photos' I'd be glad to see them (or web-links). Apparently the car was delivered new to team Jolly-Club, and driven by an Italian known as 'Gero' (real name Cristiano del Balzo). |

AM 72-7 - as predicted !
I will happily provide scans of all documentation in a PM, once they are in my posession. The car was originally supplied 'wingless', and we intend to purchase a set of bodywork to reflect this. I would appreciate contact details for Simon Hadfield if anyone has them. Thanks |

Being new to the marque, can someone please clear up an issue for me please?
My understanding was that BT35's were either F3, FA/B or the specialised Hillclimb cars. Why do I see BT35's advertised as F2 cars? Forgive me if I am missing something obvious here, but I am slightly confused ! |

Bryan's chassis number 8, ran F2 (1st place Mallory '72) and here in Australia "as it was, so it shall be" means he can still run to that speck, but my understanding is that none were built as F2. The HSCC in their wisdom in the UK allow BT35's to run with injected BDA's in the F2 class. Ted is the best one to answer why, but I guess he is recovering from a very busy weekend at the moment! |

Pantah,
Welcome . Really the problem is Ron Tauranac's fault as he didn't build enough BT36's , 12 off , and these cars are regarded [ along with BT35s ] as some of the best period spaceframes, so along comes historic racing and basically there are not a lot of cars to satisfy demand, and as the FIA allows cars to be presented in a specification of the period , you go grab yourself an F3 BT35 and rebuild it to BT35/6 F2 spec. except you are also allowed to substitute a BDD for an FVA which was the period engine , and also if you can find it, run a Lucas mechanical fuel injection system, while your at it you may as well build up a short stroke BDD . Meanwhile over here with much more severe rules [ thankfully] my car can run one of 3 options only that MY CHASSIS ran in period, i.e 1971 , one of a few built with a BDD for Atlantic, 1972 1860cc IRON BLOCK BDE , which is what is has , albeit at 1790cc, 1976/7 fit a 1600cc Ford Twin-cam as per Australian spec.that it ran then, I am not allowed any other option. Bryan. BT35-8. |

BT35 in 1971-2 would usually have run a Lotus Ford t/c in F3, BDA in Atlantic.
Jorg Obermoser had a BMW engined version in F3 in 1971 Chris |

Craw's car in 71 was BT35-9, the car owned in 1998 by Peter Watts.

I should note that we now have another claimant for BT35-9 in the US - backed up by a chassis plate, original bodywork in the right colour and a SCCA log book back to 1972 which has "BT35-9" written on the front cover.
So - is it possible Craw had two cars? Or could Craw have driven a different car on one occasion in the UK that got "ex-Craw" attached to it? |

Chassis 9 noted by A/S when Craw used the car in the non championship ARCO Trophy at Castle Combe, prior to taking it to the states. I think he owned the car but Opert ran it, so unlikely but not impossible he'd use another team vehicle. If there's a car with the plate, bodywork and a log that's pretty water-tight.
Do we know any provenance on the other [British] car? Chris |

What I hadn't appreciated is that Craw only did the one race before heading off for the 23 May race at Seattle. So it's hard to see how an ex-Craw car stayed in the UK.
Maybe David McLaughlin's car wasn't actually ex-Craw after all, just reputed to be when he bought it. One or two early BT35s went onto the hills didn't they? |

A little assistance from those in the know please?
I appreciate this my not be the appropriate forum, but can anyone point me in the direction of a complete exhaust (in the UK) for a BDA. 3-bolt type, in order that I may complete BT35-47 to its rightful condition.
