I found that reference to Ribager's "BT30" so thought I'd add it in.

BT23-3 RF8 FVA 7003
1967 Frank Gardner
1968 Xavier Perrot, Günther Huber
1969 Badly damaged by Perrot at Nürburgring 27th April
1969 Jo Siffert sold to
1970-75 Jacques Joliat, CH. 1971 replaced FVA with FVC
1975-6 Michel Salvi, CH
1979 Alain Ribager has ex-Salvi "BT30" nr Mulhouse
1984 Gérard Gamand found nr Valance, France (500k from Mulhouse) with Renault engine
1989 Michel Champelovier
sold to Hollinger
2006 Thierry De Mortier

It's a bit difficult to nail down exactly when the car moves from Salvi to Ribager. In early 1977, Ribager has a 1300cc Brabham but Salvi also has a Brabham, given as a BT36-FVA. I would guess that Ribager has the BT23 from 1977 onwards but it's always possible that Salvi rebuilt and updated his BT21 and sold that to Ribager instead.
