The Donington Park museum, generally accepted as the world's greatest motor sport museum, closed its doors for the last time in November 2018. I've visited the place several times and remember that in the early years there were two or three cars on the roof of the Coppice Cafe which was near the entrance door as you went in. This is a photograph I took of one of those cars on a visit in May 1986.
This is a 1972 BRM P180 designed by Tony Southgate and with a 2,998cc BRM V12 engine. It's one of two cars built and this one is chassis P180/01. This site gives the full racing history of both the P180s.
On 14 June 2016 I showed a photograph of this car at Silverstone in July 1999 in a display marking a tribute to BRM.
