Official Statement From the Brabham Family About Products at the 2008 Essen Motor Show
No connection exists between the Brabham family and products being marketed at the European auto show November 20, 2008 — Sir Jack Brabham and his Son David Brabham have issued the following statement:
The Brabham family would like to absolutely and categorically state that the range of cars and accessories being publicised under the Brabham name at the Essen Motor Show 2008 and on global websites, has nothing to do with the Brabham family, or its long and respected motor racing heritage, in any way.
It is clear to us, as it must be to the whole world, what these people are trying to do. In our opinion, it is a clear case of using our name, our history and our success, without the backing of the Brabham family.
The following weblinks will show you some of the reasons for our concerns:

The 50th anniversary of Jack Brabham’s first Formula One Championship crown is approaching in 2009.
