Motoring News

I have ben doing another trawl through and noticed there is a heck of a lot of incredible detail especially about F2 cars/chassis numbers/entrants etc.

I assume ('Never Assume') you all have access to this information?


PS Guess what - It's

Bryan,

Re BT35-10, if you look at my message to you last March, I had proposed to send you pictures of the car obtained from the seller. As I was mentioning, lots of details were wrong on this car. If you want, I can look in my records for the details of the dealer. I can still send you the pics. I had made an offer for the car but it was not accepted. I don't know what happened afterwards. Send me your email address by private message and let me what you want me to do.

Regards.

35-44 I remember well when Fred Edwards from Warboys in Cambridgeshire had it.
Where is it now?

Didn't Harper end up with 35-35 in '91?

BT35-35 was for sale in Glouceshire [ spelling ] 1990/1.

I don't think we have found it after that.

Thanks Bryan, if I'd read my notes more closely I might have realised that. The Edwards family had a lot of fun with that car, in those days I called in a couple of times to see them, they had a number of other cars but that I think was the only Brabham.

BT35-35 was raced in the German Open in the nineties.
It was in F2 configuration when raced by John Harper in Euro F2 but was later converted to F3 spec.

BT35-5 .

For sale at www.carclassic.com

Stated to never have been entered in a race , two owners from new and only used by two French drivers for private use.
I have the name of Jean Louis La Fosse against this car in my notes.

Still fitted with Novamotor MAE 1000cc.

Bryan.

BT35-5 was offered for sale at the 2004 Bonhams Monaco auction by.."a private French collector...who has owned it for 18 years. The car has been used for track-days and local hillclimbs"
Assuming it's the same car - and photos suggest it is - it seems carclassic.com have ignored whatever pre-1986 history it might have had

Autosport in early 71 F3 reports gave the following chassis nos for BT35s
1: Brendan McInerney, used later in season by Jorge Pinhol and then a rent-a-car by MRE in 1972
2: Colin Vandervell
3: Jean-Louis Lafosse, this car offered for sale but not sold at Brooks Goodwood, 1999
4: Chris O'Brien, retained 1972 until BT38 delivered
5: Bernard Lagier [team mate to Lafosse] to Jannick Auxmery in French F3 1972.

So history completely ignored, as usual...

Like Bryan, I have 35-5 as Lafosse's number
The 1999 Goodwood catalogue entry for BT35-3 does not mention Lafosse as the original owner (or anyone else for that matter). This car was deep purple and gold at the time of the sale; the 2004 Monaco and 2005 carclassic.com one is red
No-one seems to claim that either of these cars was raced in period....

Retro Wheels

It is great to see such a load of knowledge re brabhams.. I helped out Rob Turnbull with his BT35 BDA on hillclimbs when I was young, we came 10th in a 1600cc car .. no idea what chassis number that was ..

Anyway I make wheels, split rim type, to fit Brabhams (march and Lola also) What I wanted to know is the offsets .. does anybody know the correct offsets for early brabhams ? They are perfect for all cars up to BT 38 when the look changed .. We sell a lot of these but I am always being asked re the correct offset.. if somebody knows this or where I can go,.. great .. Lola would be useful too ..

thanks

Doug

Doug,
I own BT35-8 , I have 9's and 13's for wets and 10's and 14's for dry and will measure from the back mounting face to a straight edge across the rear of the rim.
Not all of mine are genuine Brabham , neither are a lot of other peoples except they do not realise it.
Some of mine are Palliser , nearly identical , unless you know how to spot the difference.
Are you o.k. for March measurements as I also have a 74B , but only front 10's , my two sets of rears are period Dymags , 15's.
Also have 5 x Melmags 2 x fr. 3 x r. 10's and 14's.
can measure all if required.
Bryan.

Andrew,

Marsland is also quoted in F2R 3 races earlier at Nivelles as racing a BT35, so the BT36 may not necessarily be so (or vice versa or course)

Andrew,

As I mentioned above, Marsland's quoted in a BT35 at Nivelles, this may be more likley as I think he drove a BT35 in the 1972 Phoenix Park race, but I haven't got a report to hand to comfirm..

Jeremy I am sure you are right, sorry I didn't mean to ignore your suggestion!! -with such a plethora of ancient BT36’s it all highly unlikely, Autosport lists the reason that Marsland was at Monza was because he was on his way to a hill climb in with his “BT36”

What was the attraction of Monza? Was there good start money that attracted so many?

One of our other contributors here with good Swiss contacts has offered to find out about Amweg, or is this a name that means anything to anyone?
