Contacting Brian Hart
Having just come into possession of most of a 1998 Hart V-10 F1 engine I'd like to try to find a few more pieces to turn this into a nice show engine.
What happened to Hart engines? I gather that TWR took them over, what happened then? Any idea who would have ended up with the components? And if anyone happens to know the history of engine no. 98105 I'd be really interested! |

I've been looking on the internet and can't find anything - might just mean they are old fashioned (or I'm searching for the wrong thing), but it's the easiest thing for me to try from Belgium.
They aren't in the Autosport directory either |

Good luck anyway. They were the last of the privateer engines if I recall correctly./

Hart was absorbed by the TWR empire and what happened to it after the bankruptcy don't know. Was it picked up by Menard perhaps?
Motorsport did a article on Hart a sometime ago. If I remember correctly he is now living in France and is out of the business. |

I had a feeling that Paul Stoddart picked up a lot of the ex Hart machinery & dynos etc so that he could self prepare the engines in his F1 two seaters and (originally) in his EuroBossTyrrells.

stodart did not get the hart v10 engines when twr took over hart they used them and twr thought they could do a better job at their factory- they couldnt
Brian was shafted big time in the end and the company was wound down and sold off by auction twr carried on with their v10 engine a derivative of the hart v10 twr went bust all motors where sold at auction in 2004 stoddart bought the 2003 cars and parts for the carbon gearbox the motors where sold off elsewhere the hart v10 was used in Jordans 93 94 F1 cars if u pm me i will tell u more Ruby location is Judds ( engine developments mr Mallet! ) |

I didn't say that Stoddart got the V10 engines, just the machinery & dynos, and I thought that it was that that happened as a result of the auction. I might still be wrong but I thought that I'd read that somewhere. I'll bow to driftwood's greater knowledge though.
