Our expert's notes

A Martini body shell used in the production of Ron Howard’s 2013 sports-drama, Rush. Based on a true story, the film follows racing icons Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) during their infamous 1976 Formula One season. As their rivalry on and off the track begins to take its toll, a near-fatal injury leaves Lauda fighting for the championship and Hunt in pole position to take the title.

The cock pit shell would have belonged to the number ‘8’ Brabham BT45 driven by Brazilian driver Carlos Pace during the controversial 1976 championship season, seen most notably at the Italian Grand Prix after Niki Lauda’s shocking comeback a mere six weeks after his accident. Made from fibreglass, the body of the cockpit has a red and blue paint finish with various decals applied to the surface, including ‘Martini Racing’ and the number ‘8’. A black wing mirror is located on the right-hand side of the body, with a wing mirror fixture on the left. The body shell is surrounded by a metal frame with ‘BT45 Transport Brace (Body)” handwritten along the base. With the exception of minor scratches as a result of on-set use, the body shell remains in excellent production-used condition and measures approximately 270 x 143 x 84cm (106.25 x 56.25 x 33”).
