History

Three times world champion driver Jack Brabham started making his own racing cars in 1962 and all his chassis identification were prefixed with the initials BT – B for Brabham and T for Tauranac. Ron Tauranac was a Sydney born engineer who was responsible for the chassis design.
The chassis frame, AM88, was purchased from the works by Howden Ganley in early 1965. Ganley, a New Zealander, was working in England for Bruce McClaren and did not complete the building of the car but sold it as a rolling chassis to Jan Bussell, a Dutchman living in Kuala Lumpur. Bussell installed the Ford twin cam engine and raced it throughout SE Asia and won the Macau Grand Prix in 1968.
Howden Ganley went on to drive for BRM in Formula 1 and is now the secretary of the British Racing Drivers Club based at Silverstone. Jan Bussell retired and is now a resident in Sydney.
The third owner was a New Zealand aircraft engineer who took the car back to Christchurch for rebuild in the ‘70’s. Unfortunately he died before the car was completed and it did not run until it was acquired by the present owner in 1999.
It was race prepared and successfully raced in both Australia and New Zealand during 2000 and 2001.
The car was then brought to Australia in 2003 and has been successfully raced throughout Australia since.
Team Penrite is proud to have this Brabham BT-14 as part of its collection.
