AL90 - V16 BRM Mark 2
« on: January 05, 2016, 07:14:39 AM »
It seems we haven't had this before, much to my surprise.
I took this photo just before the exhaust blew my hat off!
Who can tell me which racing car I was looking at?

Correct!!!
There's a point there, but who should get it???
If I had looked in before Willie's post, I would have locked it for Shamrock and as he was first with most of the answer I'll give him the point.

Perhaps it's never been a previous puzzle because it's so recognisable!  What an extraordinary machine to (slowly) build in Austerity Britain.

Doug Nye's Volume 1 is not an inexpensive book, but if you like motor racing history, it's the best money you will spend. He tells it how it really happened, and doesn't mince his words. Hugely recommended.

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes it is to us but there are car enthusiasts who have no interest in racing cars!
Moreover to encourage any Rookies we get, what's wrong with a few that we more experienced folk think recognisable?
I'll post a few bits of well-known grey porridge sometime soon . . .
