1951 Cooper

This car competed in the 500cc Formula 3 Cars Class in the Historic Formula Junior Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992.
It's shown in the programme of the event simply as a 1951 Cooper with a 500cc engine and if it's a 1951 car it should be a Cooper Mk V. It's obviously been considerably modified and even has wire wheels instead of the alloy wheels that most of Cooper's 500cc cars had, and I've not been able to find photographs on the internet of any car that resembles this one.. The driver was a Shirley Dickson of Chichester, and again a search of the internet has revealed nothing.
