1973 BRABHAM BT40 F2 COSWORTH For Sale

1973 BRABHAM BT40 F2 COSWORTH single seat, engine and frame number : 4032, eligible for the most prestigious historic formula racing events and new F2 championship. Thoroughly restored by Mauro Pane, race ready. It is one of only nine BT40 built as a Formula 2, out of a total of 28 including the 19 cars for Formula B and Atlantic, making it a rare catch for the vintage racing enthusiast. According to the HTP document, issued by the FIA, the car is actually 1973, as year of production (date of original manufacture asserted). The FIA Passport also reports 1976, as “year asserted”; in that year, the car probably received the latest updates and specifications. Purchased by the CSAI Federal School, in Vallelunga circuit (near Rome) it was used extensively for tests and driving courses between 1974 and 1976 before being retired in 1977, due to regulation changing. In 1978 it was sold to an Italian collector who kept it in his garage for 30 years, without ever using it. In 2010 it was bought by Mauro Pane, the famed F1 restorer, who restored it completely. After the death of Mr. Pane in 2014, the car participated in the first Memorial Mauro Pane in 2015, possibily the car first ever public outing since restoration. The aluminum monocoque has been overhauled in 2014 by David Gathercole Race Engines in the UK, where chassis 4032 received a new Cosworth BDA engine and a new Hewland FG400 gearbox. Presented in ready to-race conditions, this BT40 represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a rare and exciting piece of racing history. Price : £ 80. 000. The car can be seen in north of Italy under appointment. First contact by email, thks for your visit.
