Brabham BT35 chassis 6

This, the second Formula Atlantic spec BT35, was bought by Nicolas Cook direct from Jack Brabham who insisted that, as it would be run by Brabham Racing Services throughout 1971, it should be painted in works livery. Completed early in '71 and run in the British Formula Atlantic Championship, Cook finished his first race with BT35-6, April's 15-lap Arco Trophy at Castle Combe, in seventh. A fine fourth at Brands Hatch in June was followed up by sixth's at Castle Combe and Silverstone but where Cook placed in the season finale at Mallory Park during October is currently unknown. For 1972, 35-6 was prepared by Ron Dennis' Rondel Racing whose workshops were on the grounds of Nick's farm. Rondel were running BT36's in Formula 2 for Graham Hill, Bob Wollek and Tim Schenken who tested with Cook at Goodwood. Cook took the car to America in '72 competing in Formula B at Elkhart Lake and Laguna Seca.

In 1973, BT35-6 was acquired by Rob Turnbull who campaigned it very successfully in sprints/hillclimbs throughout 1974/5 taking numerous class wins and finishing respectively 5 th and 6 th overall in the RAC Spring Championships in those years. Owned between 1975 and 1984 by Andrew Fraser who also raced it effectively, BT35-6 then passed to David McLaughlin, Rob Haze and later Keith Norman. From 2001 we have competed under the banner of the AA Historic Racing team in European Historic F2. Driven by John Durham in 2002, the car took the Atlantic class F2 trophy and in 2003, driven by Peter Shaw, it won again reconfirming the racing pedigree of the BT35. The car has a continuous history and AA papers allowing the use of BDA, FVA or Lotus twin cam engines.

Lotus Europa FAX 158K

This car has a very interesting provenance, having been previously owned and raced by “Top Gear” producer Dennis Jarvis between 1998 and 2003. Since we acquired the car it has undergone a total rebuild including new galvanised Lotus Chassis, and a new shell from the world renowned Europa specialist Richard Winter of Europa Engineering.
In the hands of AA Team driver Rory Stockbridge it finished in runner-up spot in The HSCC championship in 2006. Perhaps in 2007 Rory will go one better and take the coveted 70’s Roadsport series title?

Specification:

-Lotus Twin Cam engine built by TC guru Neil Roper and developing around 152BHP
-New galvanised Lotus Chassis
-5 Speed Renault gearbox
-FIA roll cage
-Adjustable AVO shock Absorbers
