I took this photograph at Luffield Corner during the Grand Prix Masters race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.
Leading is Ron Maydon in the 1968 Cooper T86C Alfa Romeo with David Brown close behind in the 1968 BRM P126. The Cooper, chassis F1-3-68, originally had a 3-litre V8 engine as used in the Tipo 33 sportscar, but was later converted to F5000 specifications with a Ford V8 5-litre engine. By the time of this Silverstone meeting it had been put back in it original form with a 3-litre Alfa Romeo engine. David Brown's BRM is chassis P126/01 and was the first BRM to have a V12 engine, which also has a capacity of 3-litres.
On 17 May 2018 I showed a photograph of the Cooper in the pit garage at this meeting.
