The BMW photographed at Brands Hatch in 1978 by a teenage Simon Arron is back on British soil
What a great picture of Tom Walkinshaw in the Pentax Cameras BMW 530i at the British Grand Prix support race in July 1978 at Brands Hatch, shown in Parting Shot [January].
I thought you might be interested to know that this car is now owned by my family and I. We were fortunate to have found this car due to talking to Jack Tetley at Duncan Hamilton. They knew the owner in Connecticut, USA and we managed to come up with a deal and secure the purchase of the car and return it to the UK.
We have been preparing it to hopefully race later in the year alongside our other Group 1 BMW 530i UFO Jeans car.

Thank you for your wonderful magazine. Always a great blend of old and new. Nice to see the fabricating ‘force of nature’ that was Phil Remington getting his due [All American Hero, December]. As a young boy I used to see Ken Miles and Augie Pabst in their thundering, Phil-prepped Cobras at Mosport in the early Player’s 200 races.
