1972 BRM P180 Official Show Car
A Rare Piece of Racing History
F1® Authentics is proud to present the 1972 BRM P180 Official Show Car - a full-scale tribute to one of British Racing Motors’ most distinctive and unconventional designs, created for the 1972 Formula One season.
Designed by acclaimed F1® engineer Tony Southgate, the BRM P180 stood apart from its contemporaries with a radical rear-engine layout and dramatically sculpted bodywork. The car made a total of seven entries during the 1972 FIA Formula One World Championship™, with its best result being an eighth-place finish at the Italian Grand Prix.
This show car is a faithful recreation of the original chassis, styled in the red-and-white livery synonymous with BRM’s factory entries of the era. With exposed suspension arms, period-correct wheels and tyres, and an open cockpit true to 1970s engineering, the P180 captures the bold spirit of a team that dared to innovate.
As a non-running display model, this car is ideal for collectors, classic motorsport exhibitions, and F1® heritage installations seeking to showcase the evolution of Formula One design during its golden age.

Powered using a BRM 3.0-litre V12 engine, one of the main features of the P180 was that the radiators had moved to the rear of the car, allowing the nose of the car to be very wide and flat.
Restored in the early 1990s after being displayed in a museum, the BRM P180 show car retains the original bodywork and numerous other parts.
