parts of their cars. The car was driven by Larry Perkins. Conny
Andersson and Teddy Pilette. The car is in superb condition and

This BRM was not outstanding and even after a revised and lightened car was developed things did not improve.
The 1979 Aurora AFX British Formula 1 Championship was set to run for 15 rounds (including visits to France - Nagaro, Holland - Zandvoort and Belgium - Zolder). A ground effect BRM P230 was due to be driven by Neil Bettridge. The P230 was built and given some initial testing by Neil but he ended up racing in a Tyrrell 008 of Melchester Racing.
