which company won Grand Prix building Engines and Chassis but NEVER won with their own chassis and their own engine as a unit?

[strad]

I don't know why and I'm sure it's probably wrong but BRM popped into my head.

[CMSMJ1]

I thought BRM won in Monaco with Beltoise? Er..was it? With their own v12?

Matra Engine wins: With Ligier 1977 and 1981
Matra Chasis wins: With Ford-power in 1968 and 1969

No way : Chris Amon won the 1971 Argentina GP with the Matra MS120-Matra V-12...

Sombrero ,you got me thinking....Was Chris Amon not the guy never winning a Grand Prix? I had that one on my mind but thought it was not called a Grand Prix...seems I got that wrong.

I still hand over the BLUE Baton for the answer.

True i deleteted that Chris Amon win with the Matra Matra as it was not a World Championship Race and as far as i know it is not counting in official statistics..
I should have be more precise with my wordings sorry..

[Sombrero]

Ok for the blue baton (because it's a blue car)...

Chris Amon reputation for bad luck was so strong that Mario Andretti once joked that "if he became an undertaker, people would stop dying". That's one of the best F1 quote ever...

Where are we?

[matt21]

I hand over to who ever has a good one.

I just don´t want to let this thread die

[Richard]

That's an intriguing picture. Obviously in the UK with right hand drive cars with and yellow number plates. Those two builder's merchant bags are slightly too low res to read the writing.

I'd guess it's where one of the team was founded?

[markc]

Aye, and an Art Deco look to it too. Complete guess: Lotus (the Chapman incarnation). Although I'm sure that was a rather grand stately home.

[Tim.Wright]

Marussia factory!

Why an FIA flag at Indy 500 2009

[strad]

Because the FIA sanctions the race and track. I believe.

This have been the Colnbrook works of McLaren.
