Formula Fords on the dummy grid.

The orange Ford in the foreground has the late Ross Atkins' name on the cockpit surround but I thought he had a BT18 but this car certainly doesn't look like a Brabham! It could be the one-off built and raced by his brother Francis perhaps ( the FBA?). My memory is fading but it was about 50 years ago! Francis and I worked on Bryan Faloon's old Brabham Climax in the Tasman Series (circa 1967-68). Bryan, Ross, Francis and Warwick Binning shared a workshop in Levin to maintain their cars. Warwick bought the early Humber80 powered Begg National Formula car and converted it to Formula Ford specs, I eventually ended up with that car a couple of years later. I think the Begg was the second of the marque, Michael Clark will know!
