Notes on the cars:

  1. Brabham BT16 [F2-8-65] (Frank Gardner): John Coombes entered this Brabham BT16 for Graham Hill in 1965, fitted with a BRM P71 engine. Hill continued to race it in the early part of 1966 after which it was then refitted with a 2.5-litre Climax FPF and taken to Australia by Frank Gardner to be used in Tasman racing. Gardner won first time out at a Gold Star race at Warwick Farm in December 1966 and then raced it in the 1967 Tasman series as part of Alec Mildren's team. After the series it was acquired by Niel Allen who planned to race it himself but instead entered it for Fred Gibson in 1967 and again in early 1968 before it was sold to Col Green in mid-1968. Retained by Green for three seasons and then sold to Western Australia and passed through various owners until acquired by photographer Julian Cowan. Sold via Bonhams to Rob McMillan and rebuilt on a replica chassis for historic racing, the original chassis being cut up and scrapped. With Rob McMillan (Sydney, Australia) 2010.
  2. Brabham BT16 [F2-9-65] (Ken Sager): Silvio Moser's F2 car in 1965, entered by Martinelli-Sonvico Racing. Used briefly as a second car early 1966 then apparently to Ken Sager in New Zealand for 1966 and later to Dave Oxton 1967, Graham Watson 1969, Brian Faloon 1970 and Warren Elleray in 1971.
