How does it compare to your 180?

better box but less power as standard, tbh at the moment i can see the brms becoming a classic in a couple of years if its kept in good condition

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.

My brother has a BRM and I had a ZR 160 for 3 years (still have it just upgraded to the zs 180) All cars have the standard suspension. The longest run I have done in the BRM is 120 miles each way and the handling cant be compared to the 160. It feels like a boat in comparison. The 160's handling/steering is much sharper and less body roll. Ive had endless fun in the 160 and would not have been comfortable cornering the BRM the same as the 160. Now I have the ZS 180 it feels like the ZR is a boat!
