Brabham BT 15 ex Keith St John

I have recently been lucky enough to purchase this F3 car which first appeared in 1965 driven by Keith St.John It was driven once by Tony Lanfranchi and maybe once by Sid Fox. After Keith started to drive a BT18 the car was driven by Liane Engeman before being sold through David Hepworth to Jim Johnstone. The sale invoice of which Jim Johnstone still has a copy mentions the name Ken Shephard and indeed Ken may have driven the car once himself in 1967.

After Jim Johnstone 67-69 the car went to Chris Tipping 69, then Doc Willoughby 70-73, Chris Dowson 74-? Pat Keogh ?-?,
then Charles Adrian before being imported to Australia in 1984 by David Hill who sold it to me in August 2003.

Any help with further history of the car would be much appreciated.

In the period that Keith St.John and Liane Engeman drove the car, its usual entrant was Radio London.

I believe that Liane Engeman drove this car at a race at lydden Hill which was shown on tv. This race also saw former bike racer Bill Ivy . Unfortunatly i think this was before programmes were recorded?

The only F3 race ever held at Lydden was in 1971 (November)It was televised,but long after the era of BT14s.Might have been a Libre race but circuit was only 0.6 miles in 1966,and I don't recall any being televised.As you say this was well before home VCRs were common and BBC would have long since wiped their tapes.
