Brian Hart
A Pilbeam-modified Brabham BT38-Cosworth won the British Hillclimb Championship in 1977 and in 1979, Pilbeam designed the MP40, which was a hillclimb car to European Formula Two specification. This machine won British Hillclimb titles in 1979 and from 1981 to 1984, powered by a Brian Hart engine. Pilbeam moved into his own premises, in a former part of BRM's operation at Bourne, Lincolnshire in 1981 and produced uncompetitive designs for Formula Ford 2000 and Formula Three in 1982 and 1983, although the hillclimb designs continued to be successful.
