History

The BT-21 was numerically the most successful Brabham, being built in F3, Formula B,
and Formula Libre guise. The first cars were produced at the end of 1966 based on a
lightly revised BT-18 chassis with some detail changes in the suspension but a very
pretty new body. Brabhams have always had pretty bodywork and this is one of the
best. The cars proved dominant for the 1968 European season and registered numerous
wins in SCCA competition, particularly in Formula B. This car has an uninterrupted
US race history as a Formula B car.
