1966 Cooper BRM

This car competed in the HSCC Classic Racing Cars race at the HSCC's Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2004.
It's Paul Busby's 1966 Cooper T82 BRM, chassis #F2-2-66, originally built by Cooper as a Formula 2 car for Jo Bonnier Racing with a 996cc inline-4 BRM P80 F2 engine. It was driven by Jo Bonnier himself, and by Jo Siffert and Giancarlo Baghetti amongst others in European F2 races in 1966.
Here's Paul Busby at Foulstons chicane during the race followed by the 1963 Brabham BT6 of Ned Spieker, the 1969 Merlyn Mk11a of Mike Bromley and the 1969 Lotus 61 of Alan Hicks.

On 2 April 2015 I showed photographs of this car at Oulton Park in 2002.
