The BRM P207 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Len Terry[2] and constructed by British Racing Motors, which raced in the 1977 Formula One season. It was powered by a 3.0-litre V12 engine. The car failed to score any points during the season.[3] The team made a total of nine entries during the season, but only qualified in one instance, at the 1977 Brazilian Grand Prix. Driven by Larry Perkins, the car retired on lap one due to overheating.[4]

The P207 was also BRM's last entry in the Formula One World Championship. In 1978, it was entered in the domestic Aurora F1 Championship with Teddy Pilette driving. He finished thirteenth in the series with one fourth- and one fifth-placed finish.

The last Formula One BRM, was the P230 of 1979: intended for the Aurora series, it was never raced.[5]
