*ONLY ONE HOUR LEFT TO PLACE YOUR BIDS*

We have an exciting opportunity for you to own a piece (or several pieces, more accurately) of BRE model history! These three separate models are "Artist Proofs" - pre-production samples sent to an artist by the manufacturer to approve a product before final release. BRE APs are exceedingly rare, with only four of each of these pieces in existence. Each model in this set is numbered AP04/04, as noted by their holographic seals.

They are up for auction on our eBay store. You can read more about them and place your bids here: https://www.ebay.com/str/brebrock

Remember: there are three separate auctions (one for each model), so be sure to place a bid for each one!

In working with a magazine editor today on a BRE Z piece, we ran across an oldie but a goodie. It's not related to the piece the magazine is working on except for the fact that Gayle caught an error in the title and shared that most uncaught errors are in titles and subtitles as everyone is focused on the details of the text. This reminded her of this Ad that appeared in Pl***oy in the early '70s and we once again had a good laugh about it.

I was at this shoot as we'd brought the BRE 240Z to be included in the Ad. The suit jacket provided for the male model was a bit large and baggy on him so the person in charge of attire took two clothes pins and clipped them onto the back to tighten it up. Very common. Gayle does something similar today when I'm being videotaped and wearing a dress shirt that won't hang right.

The photo is not great quality as it's a photo of the Ad in an actual magazine but if you zoom in you'll see the two clothes pins! I've always wondered how many people looked at the photos from this shoot, from the photographer to all of the people at the Ad agency and ultimately at Pl***oy to sign-off on it, and no one caught that the clothes pins were visible. And what about the fire extinguisher on top of the female model's head? The photographer should have seen this through the lens and had it moved. Only a foot down the wall it would have been okay.

Well that's what makes something a Classic, like this Ad!

It’s special when you’ve had major life accomplishments with people. What makes it even better is when those professional relationships turn into friendships that only deepen with time.

I couldn’t have more respect for a driver than I do for John Morton, who turned a young 84 today. He not only is one of the best and smoothest drivers I’ve known but he excelled in taking care of the equipment (cars). Where the engines in our BRE guest cars had to be regularly changed out and rebuilt, John’s #46 car could go race after race with the same engine as John drove the car so perfectly. If you’ve ever heard me talk about John, you’ve seen me choke up at the thought of what an amazing person he is.

It is an honor for me to know John and I’m looking forward to being at the Motorsports Hall of Fame ceremonies this March in Daytona when he is inducted into the Hall of Fame. It’s about time!! Thank you John for another year of friendship and congratulations on being recognized by the best in our sport. You deserve every accolade you receive! Your friend, Peter

Thanks to BRE superfan Chuck Bissey for letting us know about a shipping issue affecting these shirts! Chuck pointed out USPS shipping (normally the cheapest for small packages like shirts) wasn't listed as an option when checking out on our website.

We've rectified the issue, so you now have access to cheaper shipping options through USPS. Shipping costs are at an all-time high, and we're happy to do everything we can to keep them down! As always- we encourage folks to reach out to us via email (info@bre2.net) if you're having an issue placing an order.

You asked for it and they've just arrived! This wonderful 60th anniversary artwork of the cars of BRE by contemporary Japanese artist Ozizo in shirt form. Available in both short AND long sleeves.

To celebrate BRE’s 60th anniversary this shirt features all the BRE cars designed by Peter Brock, built by BRE or raced by the BRE team. From top down:

The iconic #46 BRE 240Z: Which won SCCA C Production class Championships in ’70 and ‘71, driven by none other than John Morton.

The Triumph TR-250K: Which Brock designed and built for Kas Kastner, Competition Director for Triumph USA to show the Brits what kind of aerodynamic, sleek car they could build on their Triumph chassis’.

The BRE Hino Samurai: The GT car Brock designed, built and brought to the Japanese Grand Prix in 1967 with great fanfare.

The Datsun 2000 Roadster: BRE’s first Datsun racer. It’s success in winning the Pacific Region in 1969 garnered BRE the Datsun West Coast Factory team contract.

The BRE Hino Contessa 1300: In this car Brock won the Mission Bell 500, which was the support race for the prestigious Riverside Grand Prix in ‘66. This is where it all began. Brock’s win in this Japanese car kicked off Brock’s long and successful history with Japanese cars.

Last but not least is the giant killer BRE Datsun 510: Driver John Morton won two prestigious Trans-Am 2.5 Championships in this #46 car.

The number-one priority at BRE is our fans. We understand BRE models are some of the most popular in the hobby, so we normally impose a "one per customer/address" rule to help as many BRE fans as possible have a chance of getting a model. We feel enough time has passed since the release of this 60th Anniversary BRE Datsun 2-Pack (and the accompanying individual models) that we can remove the quantity limit, so if you've wanted to purchase one for a friend or family member but already ordered one for yourself, you are now welcome to purchase additional sets! Our website will now allow more than one of each of these models to be added to your cart.

BRE (60th anniversary) and the Japanese Classic Car Show (which celebrated their 20th anniversary this year), teamed up to create this joint anniversary two model BRE Datsun 510 set.

One model is of the Trans-Am 2.5 Championship #46 BRE Datsun 510

The other model is the Datsun 510 Peter owned personally during the BRE race years. Brock painted his personal car in this striking yellow livery and called it the Screaming Yellow Zonker after a popular candy that came in a bright yellow wrapper. When Ebro models decided to do a model of the Screaming Yellow Zonker they couldn’t call it that as it would have been trademark infringement so for their model they called it the Brock Buster. The real car was recently located and restored to original condition and attended the BRE Open House three years ago. This is the only model set ever made with the two most important BRE Datsun 510s in Peter’s life.

There are 46 numbered and autographed 2-car sets. Each set is:

Autographed by Peter and BRE Championship driver, John Morton
Numbered 01/46 thru 46/46
