This car took part in the
Louis Vuitton '50s Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival
meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.
It's the 1959 Cooper T49
Monaco of John Beasley and has a 4-cylinder inline 1,960cc Coventry Climax
engine. The name 'Monaco' was given to the car to mark Maurice Trintignant's
win in the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix in a Cooper Climax T45. It was the successor
to the smaller centre-seat Cooper T39 'Bobtail' that the company had produced
since 1954.
