Brabham Sales
With annual exports likely to have exceeded $155,000 by the end of last year, Motor Racing Developments, the company which builds Brabham cars, is reaping the rewards of International success in motor sport, a “Financial Times” correspondent has said, the Press Association reports.
The company could now claim to be the largest manufacturer of single-seater racing cars in the world, the correspondent said. The bulk of its production is the formula three model, which was
powered by a 1000 c.c. model based on the Ford Anglia unit. The car costs about $5OOO. The firm's best foreign markets for its racing cars are Japan, then France, the United States, Australia, Switzerland, and West Germany. Jack Brabham Conversions, an associate company of Motor Racing Developments, supplies kits of parts for the conversion of Vauxhall Vivas to Brabham Vivas, and Brabham “performance packages” are exported to 28 Vauxhall assembly plants and distributors outside Britain.
