25 Jun 2017|2,088 views
Beaulieu National Motor Museum's 1950 BRM V16 Type 15, a landmark historic British racing car, will return to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed following a fundraising appeal to rebuild its supercharged engine.
While the BRM will not run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it will make a star appearance as part of Beaulieu's display, which includes running historic racers - the 1967 Lotus 49 and 1961 Honda RC162. The historic start-up of the BRM will be held at Beaulieu later this year.
Preserving the sights and sounds of this Type 15 is essential to keeping alive an important link to the U.K.'s motorsport history. Built with racing chassis number one, the 1950 BRM was driven by motorsport aces Juan Manuel Fangio and Reg Parnell during its Formula One heyday. Famous with spectators and enthusiasts due to the incredible bellow of its supercharged 1.5-litre V16 engine, only five examples of this pioneering British design were built.
