History
Chassis F1-2-1966, the second of two BT20s built, was Denny Hulme's car and won the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix on the way to his 1967 drivers' title. It was little seen afterwards until the 1997 Monaco Historic Grand Prix, where it finished second, and was later restored and offered by Christie's in 2007.
