P258 won the 1959 Dutch GP at Zandvoort with Joakim Bonnier at the wheel. The triumph was the BRM's first World Championship win and the only one for their front engined cars.
In 2001 the car, previously owned by the late The Hon. Amschel Rothschild, was bought by Spencer Flack at a reported cost of one and a half million pounds.

Spencer Flack died driving BRM P258 at the Shannon's Phillip Island Classic , Phillip Island, Australia (Saturday 23 February 2002). During the historic car race, whilst attempting to overtake, the BRM and another car collided. In the ensuing crash Mr Flack was thrown out and died of head injuries. The car was badly damaged but has since been rebuilt.

2007 The car is expected to be on view at Rétromobile, Paris - 16th to 25th February and HGPCA meeting, Silverstone in June 2007.
