Cooper Mk V

This car took part in the Historic Formula Racing Cars Pre '65 Single Seat Championship race at the HSCC's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.
It's the 1952 Cooper Mk V of Ian Scott which competed in the Formula 3 races of the 1950s where engines were limited to 500cc. The programme of the event says that this car's capacity was 499cc and I noted at the time that it's a JAP engine, but it doesn't say so in the programme.
There's a 500 Owners Association for owners of these cars and their website has details of all the cars that took part in this class of racing, including the Cooper Mk V.
