SUMMARY:BRM Evening
DESCRIPTION:The BRM V16 was a remarkably daring and futuristic enterpr
 ise when former ERA principals Raymond Mays and Peter Berthon first fl
 oated the notion in 1945. The idea of a cooperative British motor indu
 stry project to build a world-beating Grand Prix racing car was embrac
 ed by only the most imaginative minds, but imagination and stark econo
 mic reality would collide through 1946-1950. By the time this stupendo
 usly-specified projectile emerged in the metal, initial under-funding 
 and postwar inflation left the Bourne-based team to develop the design
  on a shoe-string. Ultimately it had to be saved by a benefactor, whic
 h is where Alfred Owen of the Owen Organisation came to the rescue. Un
 der his aegis the BRM V16 became a regular front-runner - but too late
  for the Grand Prix Formula to which it had been built. So where shoul
 d the project stand within motor racing history?\nTonight, Doug Nye wi
 ll explore the V16's true significance, and its landmark role not only
  in the story of British motor sporting aspiration, but also as part o
 f this nation's postwar social fabric.\nTickets for the BRM Preservati
 on Appeal Draw remain on sale until 17 November at a cost of £2 per t
 icket. The draw will be held on 24 November. Please contact Heather Re
 id, Tel: 01590 614634. We will also be inviting donations to the BRM A
 ppeal on the night of the talk.\nTickets: No ticket is required for t
 his event but please inform the Membership Secretary if you wish to at
 tend. You can pay by debit/credit card over the phone or send a cheque

 gs: Please note The National Motor Museum will not be open this evenin
 g due to other functions. The Collection Centre will be open from 6.3
