Another legendary British name from the world of Formula 1 is making a comeback with a limited run of recreation machines.

Fresh of the heels of the announcement that Vanwall, the first team to win F1’s Constructors’ championship, is building six continuation cars, BRM is now rolling out its own handful of ‘new’ old machines.

BRM’s continuation cars will be based on its famous Type 15 Mk1 V16, a car regarded by many as one of the finest sounding Grand Prix cars of all time.
