This was one of the competitors in the F.O.R.C.E. Pre-1972 Classic Grand Prix Cars Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
It's the 3 litre V12 1968 BRM
P133 of Ean Pugh - at least that's what it says in the programme of the event.
The P133 was produced in Bourne by BRM following the design of Len Terry's P126
which was built by his own Transatlantic Automotive Consultants company. There
is some suggestion that the car pictured above is actually a P126. Only two
examples of the P133 were built, the second of which was written off in an
accident at the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix by Pedro Rodriguez. The remaining P133
was driven in the 1968 season by Pedro Rodriguez, and by Jackie Oliver in the
first part of the 1969 season. A second BRM P133 entered by Robs Lamplough took
part in this race at Silverstone, and that one appears to be the surviving BRM
P133/01.
