The BRM P351 was originally a Group C sports-prototype built for the 1992 World Sportscar Championship season in an attempt to resurrect the British Racing Motors marque. The car later reappeared in a heavily modified form in 1997 as a Le Mans Prototype known as the BRM P301 before retiring completely in 1998.
Only one chassis was ever built.
The project was also connected to the failed BRM P401 sports car which would have shared some elements of the P351 race car. BRM P351 designer Paul Brown completed the drawings and a full-size cockpit was manufactured by Motor Panels. However, with the ending of the race programme, the P401 project was shelved.
