Bryan Miller should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thank you very much John.

1st photo is the Catalina Park accident in Jan. 1964 of FJ-15-63 , after this a new frame and other components were recieved from the factory and the car rebuilt , the new frame that was supplied appears to be a BT9 , slight differences.

The remains were acquired about 1967 by ex Brabham employee Roy Pounder and along with the radiator and other stuff from the John Harvey/Bob Jane BT14 , FL-1-65 , these were all built back up and was the car 1st used by Andy Frankel , thence to Pat Burke racing for a new and upcoming driver Neil Allen , then with Terry Finnigan and called a BT18 then recieved BT36 body panels , then to Roy Goodman , then to Current owner Brian Pymble , rebuilt back as an FJ , frame no. is 2363 , from memory , but maybe 2763.
The bits that came from FL-1-65 were available as Bob Brittan [ Rennmax] had converted that car to 2.5 Repco and they needed some heavier duty components .

The second set of photo's are from Bob Brittan's collection of FJ-15-63 as it was being readied to transport to Canberra for Greg Cusack , the car having just been offloaded from the boat from the U.K.
I have about 20 various photo's of the car at this point.
