As I continue to rumble through 1960s libre (for reasons I'll explain soon), I finally found a picture of Alan Eccles' Cooper-Chev. It's in Autosport October 2, 1964 p526 for those who have access.
It's a rubbish picture but the car is lined up alongside a Mk3A Junior and I'm pretty sure it's not a T53. I'm not good on pre-lowline Coopers but I wouldn't even say it was a T51. It has a front radiator the size of a barn door, a wide nose and a very upright driving position. The radiator could have been an addition for the Chev or maybe the nose has been cut back to improve cooling? It could be a Mk IV (i.e. a T51) I suppose.
This could be the picture I found once before. What do the experts think?
Also out in a Cooper-Chev that season was Peter Richardson, another new name to me.
