1994 Portugese Grand Prix official Formula 1 poster, featuring Rubens Barrichello in the Jordan-Hart 194 entry, mounted, framed & glazed, 66 by 56cm.; together with two large b&w period photos of Ronnie Peterson driving Formula 2 March cars, the 1971 type 721, 53 by 66cm., and 1972 type 722, 43 by 53cm., both framed & glazed (3) 'All three items were owned by and displayed in the offices of international racing driver and engine designer, Brian Hart. Having trained as an engineer at the De Havilland aircraft company, he won a Grovewood Award for young aspiring British drivers in 1963, and whilst working for Cosworth Engineering, he soon became a regular competitor and occasional race winner in international Formula 2 events. In 1969 he retired from driving and set up his own engine company, quickly enjoying racing success with Ronnie Peterson who won the 1971 European F2 title in a March chassis using Hart developed and serviced power units from Ford. In the mid 1970s he began making his own engines, and after more championship success in F2, this time with Toleman, he started supplying engines for Formula 1, an early highlight being Ayrton Senna's second place in the 1984 Monaco GP. In 1992 he designed and built a V10 engine that powered the Jordan Grand Prix Team for 1993 and 1994, prior to his selling the business.
