Yes. However, the engine was never built.

Proposed 1.5 litre BRM for 1961.  But they opted to use the Climax FPF instead.

That's correct. It was planned by a group of Dutch enthusiasts for the 1961 season. It was planned to have a 4-cylinder water-cooled flat-4 engine. Obviously it didn't get built.

One point to you.
