A bit of a long shot granted but PH often surprises. Any ideas on the car? It is a photo my father took during a visit between deployments.




It seems there was a GP there in '67, but I can't find any entry lists or results.

Doesn't look right to me, but I'm no expert! Looks more like a Brabham BT11A if I search the 67 season, mirrors mounted onto the clear windscreen rather than the body.

Happy to be corrected.

Quite a mix of types there. Looks more like a track day.

The car number 46 in the 1967 Singapore Grand Prix was a Brabham-Repco driven by the New Zealander driver Jack Brabham. He finished the race in second place behind the winner, Rodney Seow. So Google says... It's the car pictured above - the BT11.

Targeted Google search...

The driver of car number 46 in the main Grand Prix event of the 1967 Singapore Grand Prix was Cheung Chin Ming of Hong Kong.
He was driving a Lotus 23 with a Ford engine.
hmmm...

Hahahaha - yes, I had several different results too. I went with the Brabham result as the car matched.

ETA I also considered why your father might have taken the photo - was he a fan of Cheung Chin Ming or Jack Brabham?

How about a Lotus 18/21 i.e. an 18 but with 21 bodywork? They were about in the early 1960's in Europe, later on the other side of the world.
