Well me and a mate are looking at a track car, but needs to be fairly quick.
Whats the overall condition, many dents/scratches?
I hope you dont mind me asking and you dont have to answer this, but how did you come by it? Any reason the Lutis got rid of it?
Always liked the BRM.

Shame to rip it up as a track car but if you do then you could make most of your money back selling the interior to a ZR owner.

BRM's have a slower 0-60 and a lower top speed. suspension is softer on the BRM but just as stable as the 160 but the LSD as already said wins plus the looks and the lovely interior Shouldn't have got rid of mine

How does it compare to your 180?

BRM is easier to throw around country lanes but the 180 has the touring and V6 sound advantages. I personally can't compare them, they are totally different machines.

If you check the likes of Parkers, kerb weight of the BRM is lighter than the ZR160, 1060kg vs 1145kg, 143bhp vs 158bhp, if you do the maths there is nothing in it with power to weight. Other than that, as said the BRM has the torsen which makes this car a bargain in my opinion.

I'm very good friends with the Lutis and they have bought a few cars off me now.
I sold them a car and have taken it in part ex.

The car is generally in good nick for its age and had the headgasket and belts changed by Dreadnought.

There is a BRM on eBay at min which is a mot failure and it has bids up to £430 at the min.
