Does anyone please have any photos of Niki Lauda in the Brazilian GP (BRM P160C) and South African GP (P160D) of 1973? I've been able to track down a decent side-on view of the P160C in the Argentine GP but there don't seem to be any head-on views from that event either. All required to help finalise my construction of the cars in 1/43 for my Lauda collection! Many thanks for any assistance.

Hello John, did you know that This Way up models are due to release the 1973 Lauda BRM as a metal kit? Not cheap but definitely of a high quality. I do have pictures of the 73 BRM,but no head on ones as requested! Anyway

Doug - that is absolutely superb, and so sharp! I should now be able to complete the 1/43 model suitably! May even get round to posting an image shortly.

Being cheeky (and pushing my luck here, Doug) I'm assuming P160C/05 here in Buenos Aires ran in similar configuration (race number apart) at Interlagos, and that P160D/01 used at Kyalami was in pretty much the same shape as it ran at the ROC and International Trophy shortly afterwards? Does the archive have any pictures that would confirm?
