MOTOR CARS | 283At around this time the Brabham was fitted with a Lotus Twin-Cam
engine. It continued to be campaigned regularly in the USA until
1982 and subsequently went to Australia in the ownership of
Steve Pike (1989).
In the mid-1990s, ‘SC-5-64’ returned to the USA in the ownership of
Steve Tillack. Next owner leading historic racer Duncan Dayton had
the car completely overhauled by the UK-based specialist Sid Hoole
in 2002, including the installation of a new 2.0-litre BRM V8 supplied
by marque specialists Hall & Hall (bills on file). Duncan Dayton was
the driver at the 2004 Goodwood Revival meeting when the BT8
diced for the lead ferociously with Willie Green’s Ford GT40. The
Brabham was subsequently sold to three-time Indycar Champion,
Bobby Rahal, who continued to race it, and thence to the current
owner. Freshly presented by Hall & Hall in immaculate, ready-to-race
condition, this historic, technically fascinating and potentially very
competitive Brabham sports-racer is offered with current FIA Historic
Technical Passport.
