It is the two versions of the Rover BRM gas turbine racer. It was out at about the same time as Chrysler's Turbine. It raced at Le Mans in 1963 with Graham Hill /Richie Ginther driving as an Experimental Class and in'64 with the new coupe body it was entered but did not start. It raced in '65 as a Prototype with Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart as the drivers,but failed to finish.

This Gas station was declared historic, But a Construction contractor demolished it anyway, to make room for a parking lot. They say he may go to prison, I hope so.
