1964 BRM P261

This is one of the competitors in the Pre 1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars race at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

It's the 2 litre 1964 BRM P261 of Richard Attwood which is Chassis #2617 and was driven by Jackie Stewart in the 1965 season with a 1½ litre V8 P56 engine then driven by Jackie Stewart and Richard Attwood with a 2 litre engine in the Tasman Series in early 1966. The programme of this Silverstone event says about the BRM P261:

'The wailing 2-litre V8-engined BRM P261s of the evergreen Richard Attwood (his car was built about the remains of Current BRDC chairman Jackie Stewart's '66 Belgian Grand Prix wreck) and Germany's Thomas Bscher may be able to get the better of the Brabham Contingent led by Spencer Flack (BT7) and old pals John Harper and John Beasley in BT4s.'
