1959 Cooper T51 Year 1959 Make Cooper Model T51 Chassis Number F2-23-59 Engine 2500 Climax FPF F2-23-59 started life in 1959 as a “works” car for the Cooper Grand Prix team. The car was used by Bruce McLaren throughout the year. The Cooper team won the World Constructors championship and McLaren in his first full season took his maiden Grand Prix victory at Sebring in the US Grand Prix. For the 1960 season the T51 was replaced by the “low-line” T53 thus making F2-23-59 redundant for “works” use. The car was sold to Fred Tuck & Horace Gould. Tuck privately entered the car into numerous Grand Prix in 1960 with various drivers taking the wheel including Roy Salvadori and Lucien Bianchi. Bianchi scored a best result of 6th place finish in the Monaco Grand Prix. When in 1961 the regulaons for Formula 1 changed he car was fied with a 1.5litre Coventry Climax engine and lile is known about the races it did. At the end of the season American Frank Dochnal bought the car and shipped it to the States where he won first me out at a race at the Riverside speedway.

Naonal racer Ed Mackey purchased the car from Dochnal and campaigned the car naonwide.

Aer another ownership change Steve Froines purchased the car in early 70’s. He restored the car to the correct specificaon and reunited her with the correct 2.5litre engine and ERSA gearbox. Aer over thirty years of ownership he sold the car to well known historic racer Murray Smith in 2006 The current owner purchased the car in 2008 and with preparaon from Neil Twyman’s team they achieved fantasc results in HGPCA events in the past four years including outright wins in the Monaco Historique.

ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

* 1:20 Lotus 88 * Bugatti T18 Kit * Maserati A6GCS * 1:24 Mk1 Escorts * 2015 LM Ferraris 04-2016 NEWS Spark diecast Late Season MP4-30s Spark were the pioneers of what we now refer to as resincast models and have certainly contributed to significant changes in the model market since they first arrived on the scene some fifteen or so years ago. The tooling for resin production allows for far smaller quantities than traditional diecast metal and so we see many subjects that may not otherwise be viable due to potential sales figures. The lower numbers do mean higher prices however and for some subjects with more mass appeal, die-casting can still be the effective way of making a model and Spark have recognised this and are adding a new series to their catalogue (see forthcoming supplement), with much lower pricing (£27.95) than the resin production and innovative packaging to help them stand out. We saw the first test samples at Nurnberg in February and they are now approaching release. Ebbro’s 1:20 plastic kit of the mid-season McLaren from 2015 (EBB20014) has proved very popular and many builders are now eagerly awaiting the early season car (EBB20013). There’s another to add to the wish list now as, in ad- dition to the livery charge, the McLaren had a significant nose redesign from Austria and this will be represented by another new kit for the Japanese GP (EBB20015). The photo above shows the test mouldings alongside the mid- season car. 1:43 resincast releases of the late season car are also due for both Alonso (EBB45328) and Button (EBB45329).

1959 Cooper T51 F2-23-59 Coventry Climax FPF 2.5
1959 Cooper T51 F2-23-59 Coventry Climax FPF 2.5 F2-23-59 started life in 1959 as a works car for the Cooper Grand Prix team when they won the World Constructors Championship and lead driver Jack Brabham became the World Drivers Champion. F2-23-59 was fitted with a 4 cylinder Coventry-Climax FPF and raced by Bruce McLaren throughout the year finishing 3rd in the British GP at Silverstone and then taking his maiden Grand Prix victory in the US Grand Prix at Sebring. Originally fitted with a 2.2 litre Coventry Climax FPF engine, even in period 2.5 litre units were at a premium, McLaren was finally issued with a full-house 2.5 litre FPF for the French GP and in the next Grand Prix, the British at Aintree, used it to good effect to finish 3rd and set equal fastest lap with Stirling Moss. McLaren had originally had a taste of 2.5 litre FPF power in practice at Monaco where he described the difference between the 2.2 and the 2.5 as “Startling”. And then in a fitting end to the 1959 GP season in the final race, the US Grand Prix at Sebring, Bruce McLaren won his first GP in F2-26-59’s last works outing. For 1960 F2-23-59 was sold to Fred Tuck & Horace Gould. Tuck privately entered the car in numerous Grand Prix with various drivers taking the wheel including Roy Salvadori and Lucien Bianchi who scored an excellent privateer’s result of 6th at Monaco.

The HSRCA 1960S Racing Cars Groups M and O Newsletter No.18
The HSRCA 1960s Racing Cars Groups M and O Newsletter No.18 March 2012 Ed Holly (Registrar) [email protected] Welcome to the first M and O Racing newsletter for 2012. What a year it is shaping up to be, plenty of new cars debuting, or about to, and the interest is already building for the most important M & O event every 2 years with the running of the 4th Tasman Revival in November. In fact it looks like being a very busy end to the year with the with the 50th anniversary of the AGP at Caversham being celebrated with an Historic event at Barbagello. This weekend is also the traditional Sandown weekend and is only 2 weeks before the Tasman Revival itself. Post Tasman there is the New Zealand meetings at Hampton Downs over consecutive weekends with the theme being a tribute to Denny Hulme. Planning for the Tasman Revival is continuing apace. The Tasman Revival committee has employed the services of an event and marketing company, Lehman and Associates, and to produce the programme to a very high standard, a graphic arts and publishing company. On the next page you will see the flyer produced by the latter company. It is nice to see Spencer Martin in Paul Moxham’s Brabham Alfa BT23D selected as the subject, as Spencer is the only Australian Tasman driver to also run in the Tasman Revival. Overseas interest too is solid, and expectations are that we should have at least as many overseas cars as previously. Sir Jack Brabham named as one of Australia’s 100 Living Treasures.
