The inside is a delight and is unique to the 200 BRM LE’s

Interior Designer Tony Hunter encouraged the design team to develop a hand-made look to the BRM’s interior reinforcing the brand’s value of craftsmanship and quality. Inspiration came from the British-built Grand Prix cars of the 1950s and early 1960s, particularly BRMs, with their red seats, wooden steering wheel rim and machined aluminum components.

Machine-turned aluminum for the Heating/ventilation controls, door speakers, gear-knob, electric windows switch panel and dashboard fascia insert
The seats are finished in red leather with a diamond pattern design and ventilation eyelets, underlining the heritage link with classic grand prix racing cars
Dual tone red and black leather steering wheel
Red seat belts
Matching red carpet

Outstanding condition throughout with zero rust to be found anywhere. Professionally undersealed

The usual small amount of spider creeping can be found on the arches, something that is completely unavoidable and all suffer.

Factory paint throughout the car.

As rare as this 200 BRM is, one driver decided to get a little to close and clipped the rear bumper back in 2012, photos on file to show the small crease along with repair guarantee. The result being a replacement rear bumper and a Category D insurance claim.

Fresh from long term dry storage, due to a cycling accident the previous owner was not been able to drive the car far so it will require a small element of recommission if put into road use.

Such as a good service and Cambelt.

The car has been started and exercised regularly however and has zero issues.
Oil and filter were changed 18 months ago.
The car has never seen water.
