I photographed this car in the museum at Donington Park in September 2014.
It's a 1967 Brabham Repco BT24 a car raced by Brabham for all but the first few races of the 1967 season and which won the World Drivers' Championship for Denny Hulme and the Constructors' Championship for Brabham. It replaced the Brabham Repco BT19 with which Jack Brabham won the 1966 Drivers' Championship and had a new 2,994cc V8 Repco engine replacing the previous year's which was an Oldsmobile based unit. The car above appears to be chassis BT24/2, the one which Denny Hulme drove in his Championship winning year.
