Vat Inc. €45.00 The T51 was the last Cooper conceived for Formula 2 with a 1500cc engine. The project was also used for Formula 1, where the official cars adopted the 2495cc Climax FPF engines. The 1959-1960 seasons were exceptional, with Jack Brabham winning the title in '59; very competitive was also Stirling Moss with the T51 of the Walker team. Beyond the Climax, some teams tried other engine combinations: Atkins and Scuderia Centro-Sud tried the Maserati road; Alf Francis and Rob Walker thought about using a BRM while in 1960 the Scuderia Castellotti chose a Ferrari engine. The T51 soon became an exceptional vehicle for many private teams who also used it in the Tasman Cup and in the Intercontinental F1 of 1961.

Brumm was founded by Reno Tattarletti, former Rio sales director, with Emilio Molteni and Virginio Bianchi in Como, in 1972. The company name comes from a model of carriage (from "Brougham") widely used in Milan in Nineteenth century. Brumm originally made 1:43 scale models of horse-drawn carriages. In the mid-1970s, steam-powered vehicle models went into production, and in 1977, classic car models. Car models, mostly sports and racing cars, along with some small Fiats, soon became the company's most important and successful product line. Since the mid-1980s Brumm has regularly produced limited edition models in special and promotional liveries. Proudly continuing to produce in Italy, Brumm is today very active, with a very rich catalog that offers updated variants of already known moulds. Completely new molds are nowadays rare, such as the Fiat Panda II Series, which was long overdue.
