The P6F-119-72 is a F.Ford ch.no., a car that I can't remember him running , and as I said earlier perhaps the order was changed from a F.F. to a F2 but it retained the same no. I will have to see if I can get in contact with current owner and verify ch.no. if plate still on car.

I have all Racing Car News and also Australian Competition Yearbook , so can probably assist with much of 1982.
I presume you mean the domestic 8 round series.??????

I am currently working on the Tony Edwards Bowin project and looking for extra history and then parts. The car has a Chassis Plate: P6F2 119 73. I have seen reference to Skelton running the car as an F2 Hart with the chassis no, P6 119 72 listed.

The Edwards car is the car last run by Duane Wilson in hillclimbs.

Q. Is the whereabouts of the Skelton P6 Bowin FF known?

Q. It is looking more and more like the FF was converted to F2 and re-plated.

That is correct.

Skelton won the 72 FF DTE Championship in his P4A.

He then took deliver of his new P6F and took it to Sandown where he practised the new car but didn't race it. He then took this car to England (Oct 72) for the FF World Cup Final at Brands Hatch and then the FF Festival at Snetterton.

Whilst in the UK he bought a Hart engine and bought the Bowin and the engine back to Australia where John Joyce converted it to F2 spec and Skelton used it to finish 3rd in the ANF2 championship.
