1972 BRM P180 Show Car

1972 BRM P180 Show Car

Story

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.

F1 Race Show Car FAQs

Is F1 Authentics an official partner of Formula 1®?

Yes. F1® Authentics is an official memorabilia platform and is an official supplier of F1® Show Cars. Memento Exclusives operates F1® Authentics under license from Formula One®.

How do I learn more or enquire about a specific show car?

Each vehicle listing includes an option to contact F1® Authentics expert team for more information or to request a quote. For tailored assistance, you can reach out to the team directly through the contact or enquiry forms on this website.

Can I buy an F1® Race or Show Car directly from F1 Authentics?

Yes. F1® Show Cars and Race Cars can be purchased directly through F1® Authentics. Due to their bespoke nature and value, prices are listed as Price On Application (POA), and buyers are encouraged to enquire directly to discuss availability, specifications, and delivery.

Do you sell real Formula 1® cars as well as show cars?

Yes. Alongside our officially licensed Show Cars, we offer genuine Formula 1® cars, from factory-built rolling chassis to cars that competed in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Some are offered privately and availability changes, so please speak to a specialist about what is available now.

What's the difference between a real F1® car and a show car?

A real Formula 1® car is a chassis built by the team to race or test. It carries its own history: the drivers, the circuits and often many of the components it ran with. Some are rolling chassis and a few are still in running order.

A Show Car is a full-scale replica of the race car, made for display rather than the track. It has no engine or gearbox and is built to match the look and detail of the car on the grid, with features such as carbon fibre components, official Pirelli tyres and functional steering on our latest models. That makes it the natural choice for a private collection, a gallery, a showroom or a hospitality space.

Are the F1® show cars full size?

Yes. Our Show Cars are full-scale replicas of the race cars they represent. A specialist can confirm the exact dimensions of any car and advise on space, access and installation for your location.

Do you ship Formula 1® cars internationally?

Yes. We deliver worldwide. Our team has longstanding experience in global trade and single-seater car transport, and will provide a bespoke shipping quote for your car and location. Import duties and local taxes vary by destination, and your specialist will talk you through what applies.
