The July issue of Vintage Racecar has a very nice photo of Andrew Fellowes in his BT-36 at speed on Eastern Creek Raceway, Australia. Enjoy!

We are missing the Terry Nightingale BT35, later with Oskar Christen.

Whoever owns BT35-6 might want to get in touch with Rob Turnbull as he still has the side tanks as seen on the photo above!

Andrew Fellowes · 27 Sep 2008, 20:24 (Ref:2299166)

BT35-11, Ecurie Antar for Pierre Francois ROUSSELOT

then to Roland Trolle in 1972? and after that?

thank you very much ANDREW

I'm in the process of painting 35-10. In the black and white photo at the 1971 Race car show (with the 35 displayed at an angle), it appears that the car is painted red with yellow wings and white rondels. Is this correct?

Also any other period-based photos, preferable in color would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kent

kentr1 · 8 Oct 2008, 01:28 (Ref:2306518)

By the way, do any of you have any history on 35-10 other than the recent sale history in E-Bay in 2006? I've talked to Frank Costey and he didn't have any information prior to 1988. He said a dentist in Southern California owned it for a while, before that it was in Canada. Really at a loss here.

thanks,

Kent

Chris Townsend · 8 Oct 2008, 09:01 (Ref:2306654)

Do you have original bodywork for 35-10? If you can sand an area to reveal the succession of paint coats back to the original gel this may help.
As an early FB car there are only a limited number of possibilities for its first owner, and the colour schemes would help identify and eliminate those possibles

Chris

kentr1 · 8 Oct 2008, 14:35 (Ref:2306834)

Chris,

Excellent point. I don't know for sure if my bodywork is original or not, but I know my sponsons are. I'm actually having the sponsons prepped now, so I'll try and check before they are completely stripped. But I'll certainly check the bodywork as well.

Thanks,

Kent

Just for interest at this stage, the probables [early season BT35s in FB that are not already known to be other chassis] are in descending order of likelihood

1971 Racing Car Show Catalogue

"The suspension has been modified to make use of the new low profile tyres"
I assume this means the 2 bolt front uprights rather than the 3 bolt. They do dramatically alter the roll centre.

Bob Slusher · 4 Nov 2008, 19:00 (Ref:2328104)

A nice conversation this morning with Allen Lader. Al has receipt for #39 dated 6/71. Fred flew the car over following Allen's shunt of his BT29 at Mexico. Allen ran the car at Edmonton, Donnybrook, Elkhart, Mossport, and Westwood that year. He sold the car to a friend collector who has it "as raced" in deep storage. Owners name withheld. Al would like to buy the car back and restore it!

Peace,

Nice one Bob!

That still leaves me a gap between David Render in 1976 and Amco and then '78 to Peter Watts in '86. Any answers?

Render was still using the BT35 at the beginning of 1976 in the British Sprint Championship.

Oulton Park -03/04/1976 4th David Render 2.2 Brabham-Ford/Hart BDA BT35-35

BT35-35 didn't appear again in the sprint championship after the above date.

Bob Slusher · 10 Nov 2008, 21:25 (Ref:2332724)

Al Lader was kind enough to share early photos from the Fred Opert Calendar, Earl's Court Auto Show, Jan of 1971, and Monterey Mexico with Nick Craw (9). But, how do I post them to the group?

Bob Slusher

Andrew Fellowes · 10 Nov 2008, 22:07 (Ref:2332744)

upload to ImageShack and the copy & paste the link. But its easier said than done! Not difficult, just fiddley,
Otherwise email them to me & I'll happily do it!

I would appreciate hearing any and all ideas on how to contact Brian Robertson. Repeated calls to the listed RALT number in Los Angeles go un-answered. Does RALT no longer exist?

Ideas?

My thanks,

Hi:

I am rehabilitating my original wing but find that I have no idea what the original attachment hardware looked like. I would very much appreciate measures, photo’s, descriptions of the hardware and where it connects on the running gear.

My thanks,

bob slusher

Andrew Fellowes · 11 Jan 2009, 23:22 (Ref:2369653)

they used the gearbox mounting bolts and were attached at the rear of the gearbox with two small bracing brackets to the dog bones. I'll photo and email direct with measurements,

Andrew

The ex-Gerard/Wingfield BT35-FVC that is reported to have been used by Tim Wood in 1976 passed to Joe Applegarth for 1977 (AS 14 Apr 1977 p58).

Allen

1978 A/S May 18th p.51 Applegarth in his newly finished BT35

interesting, I guess he was having such a good time in the BT23 he didn't bother, he recorded a lot of wins in that car.
