Information

'This Brabham is technically two cars in one both of which have significant historic importance.
It began its life as a Brabham BT42, chassis number BT42/2. Built for the 1973 season, the BT42 was
Gordon Murray's first ever Formula 1 design. That season, it was raced by Wilson Fittipaldi in eight
races, finishing fifth in the Dutch Grand Prix and running as high as third in Monaco. The factory sold
the car in 1974 to a company that rented it out to aspiring F1 drivers.
10 years later it was bought by the renowned car restorer, Phil Reilly. He turned the car into an
immaculate BT44 and it achieved great success in historic racing, before becoming part of the Gordon
Murray Heritage Collection. The Brabham BT44 was the design with which Gordon achieved his first
Formula 1 victory in the South African Grand Prix with Carlos Reutemann in 1974. This is now the
only Brabham BT44 in the world. ' - (Source https://www.gordonmurrayautomotive.com/ Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024 Press Release)
