B18 Recapitulation
FVA engines [4 built]
18.F2.71.01 Works test car raced in South Africa by Redman.
Returned to works and used as F2 car by Craft later in season.
Sold to John Powell [Canada] used in 1972 Players series, then to Paul Wheatley for 1973 Players series
18.71.02 New to Xavier Perrot [but said to be earmarked for Bruno Frey] then to Bruno Frey [chassis no given AS 8.4.71]. Car stolen at Imola 24.7.71. At Hockenheim 3.10.71 is described by AS as in his usual car, suggesting he got it back or Chevron built a replacement. Especially as this chassis number then noted on the B18 of Georges Schafer in 1973 and probably therefore the B18 entered by Schafer in 1972 but not raced in Euro F2
18.71.03 new for Siffert at Bogota 1971, then a rental car. Rebuilt as F.Atlantic and used by Willie Green at Brands 50,000 Aug 1972
18.71.04 New to Hervé Bayard. Bayard is variously said to use a new car and the ex Perrot car [a week after it had been stolen!] Going by press reports he ordered a new car at the start of the season but did not get it until after both 02 and 03 had appeared. On first appearance the 'new car' seems to have Frey's 02 plate on it - which is, I suspect, a typo or a plate switch. Possibly the Grobot car in 73
BDA engine
18.A.71.01 new to Graham Eden, later run for Cyd Williams. Kept to end 1972 then to Bob Armstrong [Canada] for 1973 Players series
BRM t/c engine
Chassis number unknown: Barrie Maskell UK 1971 F3 then unknown, perhaps the Mather/Auckland car [Mike Mather 1972 Atlantic with t/c sold to David Auckland [Libre 1973] and then perhaps the hillclimb cars of Robert Speak [1976] and Andrew Florentine [early 80s] but this might have been an unsold FB model]
Six t/c FB models
Can't find anywhere near six!!
Opert two cars plus Warren Flickinger
Think that one or two may have stayed in UK to become the Mather car [above] and the John Richards car in UK Atlantic in 1972
FVC engined car?
A hill-climb car? Allen, what's in Echappement 1971?
