1963 Brabham BT6 Formula Junior


The ex-works Brabham-Ford BT6, chassis FJ-9-63 – entrusted to future Formula 1 World Champion Denny Hulme for Brabham’s 1963 Formula Junior campaign.

One of the most successful BT6s of the period, delivering six victories, multiple fastest laps, and second-places in the British Formula Junior Championship, together with no less than 9 pole positions from 14 starts.

A key chassis in Brabham’s formative years, embodying Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac’s design philosophy at the height of Formula Junior’s technical evolution.

Subsequently re-engined with a Lotus Twincam for Frank Gardner to race in the 1964 Tamsan Series under the Alec Mildren Racing banner, becoming the first Brabham to be fitted with such an engine.

Winner of the 1965 New Zealand 1.5 Litre Formula Championship with Roly Levis.

Long and meticulously documented history, carefully developed for historic racing since being purchased by its current owner in 2017.

A multiple winner in the current ownership and equipped with a top-spec Geoff Richardson engine. Accompanied by valid FIA HTPs within a mammoth history file and a useful spares package.

Highly eligible for the best Formula Junior grids, including the FIA Lurani Trophy, the FJHRA championship, and future Goodwood Revival Chichester Cup appearances.
