Brabham BT 8 , bought by Peter Crossley rebodied as a Gt then as a spyder fretted with Coventry Climax and Ford FVA engines , I think this was a puzzle some years ago

Yes, you areri8ght, we had this a puzzle some years ago. But not solved.
Not a Brabham BT 8 , bought by Peter Crossley rebodied as a Gt then as a spyder fretted with Coventry Climax.
Ford engine fitted

Does that reply mean it is not a Brabham BT8 but it is Ford powered?

It means, that it is NOT a Brabham BT 8, which clearly means that also it can't be the car that was bought and rebodied by Peter Crossley. And the puzzle car is not powered by a Climax engine, but a Ford one

Thanks. Based on some of your previous answers, your reply could have meant it was not that specific BT8

Is it an Australian built car?

Sorry I didn't read the previous quesions correctly. It's not mainland Europe, so is it from the UK ?
