Brabham BT 7A

[Terry S]

Whatever happened to the BT7A Climax 2.5 that was raced by Brabham in the 64 Tasman Series, then by Jim Palmer, Andy Buchanan and Paul Bolton?

Was it written off by Bolton?

It just seems to have disapperared.

It just seems to have disappeared.

It is disappointing to see that its is just on a year since I raised this question and there has not been a single solitary response.

There were apparently only 3 BT7A's made, so surely some of the experts on this forum must know.

Is it the car now run by Max Blees in Europe?

Again over two years later, we are still looking for the answer...

Not an answer but last race I have was the February 1967 Sandown Tasman round where Bolton crashed in practice and didn't start the race. I don't know how badly car was damaged.

I got one positive answer regarding the Blees car. It is not the one being discussed.

Is this perhaps the car in question (see attached photos)?

I came across this today at the recently opened Gold Coast Motor Museum. It is displayed as Brabham's car - I could not get a view of the chassis number.
