Hi
After years of admiring the BRM I finally bought one.
It was a blind purchase on eBay so sadly the car isnt quite as good as I would have hoped but it will be a good restoration job.
Dont have any pics yet as it only arrived on a transporter yesterday.
I have a list of parts that I require and if I dont find them this weekend at my local breaker then I will se if this site can help me.
How do I find out what build number my car is? Its got the rare air con which is nice.
Here are a couple pics of my other cars.
My daily driver
Factory John Cooper Works

Im big into car cleaning and detailing and do some judging at local and not so local classic car shows. This year Im part of a meguiars judging team.
I have my work cut out with the BRM but I aim just to get it tidyish and on the road for this year. Next year if funds allow it will get stripped right down fully repainted and many parts powder coated then built back up for showing.
