1958 BRM P25

This is one of two BRM P25's that competed in the Historic Car Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners' Club's meeting at Oulton Park in September 1986.

It's the 1958 BRM P25 of the Hon. Amschel Rothschild and is chassis #P258, the car which Joakim Bonnier drove in the 1959 Dutch Grand Prix to give BRM their first win in a World Championship race, and the only one by a P25.

The BRM P25 has a 4-cylinder inline 2,491cc engine, and here it's being given a careful examination before its race.

Here's the car at Lodge Corner during the race.

On 4 June 2014 I showed photographs of the other BRM P25 at this meeting, John Harper's car.

BRM P25

Here are two cars that competed in the Cheshire Building Society Allcomers Race at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.

This is the 1958 BRM P25 of John Harper, chassis number P25/9.

Here's a view of the car without the rear bodywork showing the single rear disc brake on the transmission which often failed on the early P25s.

This is the second 1958 BRM P25 which took part in the race, that of The Hon. Amschel Rothschild.

Here's The Hon. Amschel Rothschild at Lodge Corner during the race. This car is the one that won the 1959 Dutch Grand Prix in the hands of Joakim Bonnier, BRM's first World Championship victory, and is chassis number P25/8.
