The 50th Anniversary of the BRM was marked at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999 by a display of many of the cars, some of which took part in track parades.
This is a photograph I took during one of these parades when I was stuck in the middle of the Silverstone paddock overlooking the Abbey curve. Not a terribly good photograph, but the pale green BRM V16 was being driven by Argentinian driver José Froilán González who drove the V16 car in a few non-Championship races in 1952 and 1953.The car in front of the BRM V16 looks to be the 1968 BRM P133 which was driven in the display by Reine Wisell, whilst the BRM P25 at the rear seems to have Tony Brooks at the wheel.
