Garage wall story came direct from Leif when I spoke to him about a month ago. The son, for whom the car had been bought, died racing in the states so there it remained. What I dont know is where it went after John MacDonald in Hong Kong & before it got to the wall!! Stayed out in SE Asia?
(John MacDonald was at last weekends Macau 50th, he's won more classes there than anyone else)
David I wonder when "Fred Opert brought an ex Rondel car to the States"? because MidAm Formula Atlantic Championship winner for 1980 was Robert Willis, StL, Brabham BT36.
www.midiv.org/PDF/MidamChamps.pdf I have no American publications to cross check this to see if BT36 is correct. Also I can not find any other mention of a BT36 in the States either -apart from Ian Hendersons own import and he hasn't heard of one either.
On a more positive note I hope to have another 36 chassis number accounted for very shortly.
