Looking through a results list for the 1959 Gold Cup at Oulton I was struck by an entry for this gentleman who I believe had owned an HWM 2-seater 1950 team car in 1952.
He ran as number 12 in the 1959 Gold cup and retired on lap 1. He qualified slowest by 30 (thirty) seconds (!) and was no less than 51 seconds lower than Moss who was on Pole in Rob Walker's Cooper.
The question's are....
1/ What on earth was an "AFM BRM 8"?
2/Was it the same John 'HWM' Brown?
3/How on earth did they allow him to start when he would have been lapped the third time around, had he lasted?
John Brown's AFM-BRM 8 1959
