Cooper Maserati

I took this photograph in the paddock at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
The programme of the event says that number 7 in the HGPCA Pre-'66 GP Cars race is the 1959 Cooper T51 of Nick Wigley with a 2½ litre engine and is entered in the Tasman & Intercontinental Class. I can't find anything that says Nick Wigley had a Cooper Maserati, and the Cooper T51 he's generally pictured driving is an ex-Rob Walker car. It's not the first time I've taken a photograph of an unidentified Cooper Maserati at Donington Park - on 19 November 2016 I showed one that I'd photographed at the VSCC's 2001 meeting which looks to be a different car to the one above.
