Beryllium brakes. They give you cancer, but that doesn’t matter if it saves a few KG so you can catch the Ferrari. I love that car.

To quote KK's FB post

"Hot from Ritchie’s workshop and just arrived at the Prototyp museum in Hamburg, this set of correctly logo’d and dated KK Exclusive steel alloys will soon be fitted to the Ex Vasek Polak 57 Speedster!"

But yes, Jez Hoye built that one.

In fact he posted a picture of it the other week

Got the impression it was outside the guy's house - fire brigade reckoned it was an electrical fault...

Hmmm, I keep thinking Lola or BRM but not... I do know the one on the right isn't a 917 (it's a well-known replica).

KS is 1/2 right.
The car has a tenuous connection to my current Lola oddly.
No a UK car if that helps.

from a brief google (dangerous I know) the 2nd and 3rd Nomads had the BRM engine but were open bodies rather than a coupe.

Interestingly, my friend (I only have one) has a Nomad Formula Ford 2000, but it's unrelated as far as I can see.
