Hi Allen and Chris,

thanks for explaining the meaning of F1R to me! And also for checking the unknown BT15s in the F1 Register.

My new car has spent most (or all?) of its life in Sweden. Some of the driver's names which you listed sound very Swedish, so one of them might have been the first owner of F3-21-65. Picko Troberg is still active as a team boss, but he doesn't seem to remember anything of those old days. I have been in contact with Jöran Hedberg, who compiled a comprehensive list of F3 results from Scandinavia, but the data from the sixties is mostly lacking chassis numbers.

Unfortunately the previous ownerhip list in the FIA papers starts only in 1969:

1969-70: Bo Elvang
1970-71: Ove Jacobsson
1971-74: Antoni Chlapowski
1974-94: Bengt Ljungberg
1994-06: Christer Lofthammar

I would really love to find out about the years from 1965-69. The seller told me that in those years Frank Williams used to bring over cars to Sweden, raced them for a few events and then sold them to local drivers. So their might be a slight chance that my car was one of those... but this is only guessing.

Regards, Robert
