Bill can't remember exact dates but I think this places his ownership of the BT14 as 1970 as he was in the B10/17 early in 1971.

Allen great talking to you today , there is a possibility that a photo of your BT 9 might be found....so I'm told of the car being put in the transporter to Fred Opert in late 66 if so will send you a copy.
Had a long chat with Fred Smith re his BT14 which raced more than hill climbed including the F2 race at Hockenheim in 67 to make up the numbers of FVA cars Fred finished 7th.
For those interested look at what I wrote on the BT15 page about Fred, as I had thought his car was a 15!
