He’s held lap records at all the UK circuits, a few of which stood for many years, and became a regular BTCC driver in the 1980s and 1990s. He has long been a friend to motor racing’s elite, having helped out Frank Williams in his early career (later becoming a director of Williams Grand Prix Engineering at its outset) and was best man and limo driver at Ronnie Peterson’s wedding, a favour the Formula 1 driver later returned. David Brodie also formed Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR) with engineer Ken Brittain in Brackley, working closely with the Ford Works Motorsport division and going on to build a wide variety of road and race cars that achieved legendary status among UK car enthusiasts. The car presented here is a 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth that has been well and truly given the BBR treatment; uprated in period and subsequently changed from Moonstone Blue to British Racing Green (in honour of a Sierra campaigned by David Brodie).
