Cooper? Looks like their works in Surbiton. Note Dunlop R5 tyres too
Follow that hunch
Experts?
The Cooper T54 Indianapolis car being rebuilt into the BMC Aston Martin Cooper that Pedro Rodriguez failed to qualify in 1962
So, the year will be 1962 and the place is the Cooper factory
I'm not sure about the person - is it Ron Dennis?
You've got the car, but that's not Ron
Next guess: John Cooper?
Max Mosley?!
Not cooper, nor Mosley.
The picture was not taken in the UK, nor in 1962.
Let's try again
Date? 1963
Place? Kjell Kvale's San Francisco workshop
Who? Kjell Kvale
2 of 3
Not KK
No further ideas. Anybody?
Briggs Cunningham?
Not him
The mystery man is well-known in racing, and helped to engineer many Anglo-Saxon race cars.
To save some time, it is not Caroll Shelby
Phil Remington?
Not him
Peter Brock?
Nope
Pro point...
Joe Huffaker redies the BMC Aston-Martin Cooper in San Francisco prior to shipment for trials at the 1963 Indy 500.
Damn, I was waiting for it for so long to come here and I finally missed it :/
