Having two consecutive Manufacturers' Championships, first and second places in the Drivers' Championship and a new engine from Repco in the works, Jack could take his pick of drivers...
And Denny was already Bruce's team mate in Can-Am, of course.
This crash actually changed history at Rennmax. Because the chassis was given to Bob Britton to replace, he had to build a jig for the BT23 whereas the previous car he'd built was a BT14, jigged up when he had the job of modifying John Harvey's car to take the Repco V8.
He often says, "I should have just gone on making the BT14, it was a better car than the BT23. But who would buy a 1965 model when there was a 1967 model there?"
I think he finally built nine cars from this jig, which included the Mildren-Waggott raced for so long by Max Stewart.
Bob much later built another BT14 for himself. It's among the many cars he's built since he ostensibly stopped building cars:
