Robin Marriott should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
BRM P48

I've been casually browsing Racecarsdirect for cars I can't afford this morning and I've come across something I've never seen before.

https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/De...-p48-formula-1

I've seen inboard brakes before but never a single disc on the back of the gearbox.

Have seen these raced at Goodwood by Andrew Willis, Charles McCabe and Ben Mitchell over the years.
