A 1985 Formula 1 car driven by world champion Keke Rosberg is now on display at a motor museum.
The Williams FW10 can be seen at the volunteer-run Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum in Calne, Wiltshire.
Chairman of the museum Brian Utton said the addition was "really exciting" and the team were "very pleased".
He said the car did a 160 mph qualifying lap at Silverstone which stood for 20 years.
Mr Utton added: "We had a guy from Williams Racing come and visit the museum.
"He let us know that they sometimes lend cars out, so we immediately requested one."
Youth volunteers have been asked to paint a backdrop for the car.
Keijo Erik Rosberg - better known as Keke - is a Finnish former racing driver who won the 1982 championship and is also known for being Nico Rosberg's father.

Mr Utton said: "It's a really impressive car.
"We haven't had too much of a motorsport collection over the years, so this is something new for us and it's really great."
The Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum was started by local enthusiasts and has been in Calne since the 1980s.
