The 1980 season provided some excellent performances from the car with 3 fine victories. A leading contender for the World Championship the BT49 will figure prominently in any Grand Prix.
A new introduction to the range the Parmalat sponsored Brabham comes fully decorated in its racing livery. The engine and gearbox assembly is finished with chrome effect plating to give added realism. Together with the plated wheels and super slicks tyres this car is an excellent representation of its successful real life counterpart.
