This is puzzling Chris and me as well. As far as we can tell, the fist time you drove Bridges' BT18 was at Snetterton on 5 Mar 1967 as the report on Oulton 11 Mar 1967 says it was your second drive in the car. So whatever you drove at Brands in January must have been a different car. Was this definitely a David Bridges car or did Foulds have his own car?
This Brands January car could then be the car you remember lapping at Snetterton in May. |

Norman Foulds Brabham
Find attached a photo of Normans own BT9 in David B's livery taken at Mallory Park in June 1967, retiring after a coming together with John Cambell.
He kidded me into believing that he aquired it from Roy James,but that was Norman! Norman unfortunately was tragically killed when his light aircraft left Blackpool for the Isle of Man,but went down in the Irish Sea a number of years ago. |

David Bridges Last Brabham F3 car
Speaking of Norman Foulds & his ties with David Bridges Brabhams.
Find attached a photo of Norman in David B's last F3 car being the B.T. 21. The photo was taken during the 1969 season when D.B. was winding down his sponsoring efforts. The following year Norman purchased a new Chevron B17 teaming up with Barrie Maskell to form the N.E.R.O. partnership. |

Jacques Bernusset at Zolder, 1965
Here is a puzzle (I hope it is not a red herring). This picture at Revs identifies "Car number 39, Jacques Bernusset in Paul Swaelens' Cooper-Ford T76" (presumably per http://www.formula2.net/F365_E13.htm ):
https://revslib.stanford.edu/item/cs282th5478 There are further pictures here: https://revslib.stanford.edu/catalog/hg278wd5864 Note #18 John Cardwell alongside. https://revslib.stanford.edu/catalog/fz739yp5180 The Cooper T76 and Brabham BT15 look similar from the side. I am not a Brabham fundi but there is something not quite right about this? (This superset of pictures re Zolder 1965 will repay study for this thread in general: https://revslib.stanford.edu/?omit_k...utf8=%E2%9C%93 ) RGDS RLT Last edited by Rupertlt1; 5 Jan 2016 at 13:57. |

Certainly not a Cooper T76. It looks like a BT15 but the undertray is wrong. Maybe something older that has had updated rear suspension.

I would say the cars in the first two photographs are all BT15s
The last photograph is the Cooper T76. Note the Cooper engine cover by the trailer has number 39 on it. Could the driver of had 2 cars at the meeting & chose to race the Brabham. |

Yes, the car next to the 39 engine cover is definitely not a Brabham.
If the Zolder race was important to a Belgian F3 champion, maybe he hired another car after his Cooper broke down. Tony Horsley, Charlie Lucas, Natalie Goodwin and Derek Romano are all listed as entries but did not appear in reports. A suitable bundle of Belgian Francs might have acquired one of their cars for the weekend. |

Thi BT-15 was purchased by a friend in 1974 or 75 from Dwight Egolf who was in Reading Penna. It was a FF and he drove it in SCCA regionals at Summit Point, Pocono and Nelson Ledges. Sold it in 1976 or 77. I remember the "Man And Women" movie story and that this car was in it.

The Brabham chassis were manufactured by Arch Motors in Huntingdon and stamped by them with their own production number. This is usually known as the “AM number”, which has no relation with the Brabham number stamped on the chassis plate. There are no correspondence table between AM numbers and Brabham numbers.

Re 23, there is a photo and article on the car in Robin Bouchers book, Drive it! Hillclimbing and sprinting,Haynes publishing 1977.
Chris Dowson (the potato farmer) died recently. I met Doc Willoughby and Charles Adrian but they made no mention of Chris Tipping. The MAE that i fitted came out of the Lola F2 SL60/2 that originally belonged to Midland Racing Partnership, the engine had been fitted at an earlier time in its life. I was told that Arch motors built 58 frames and 2 were intended as spares and that Radio London owned 1 of them, how true all this is i do not know but i believe we should share all of our knowledge so that some one can sought out the wheat from the chaff other wise fiction can become fact. |
