1954 Cooper MkVIII

The Historic Sports Car Club’s meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992 included a Class for 1950s 500cc Formula 3 cars in the Monoposto Formula Junior Championship race which included this one that I photographed on the straight between Foulstons chicane and Knickerbrook.

It's the 1954 Cooper MkVIII of Andrew Garner, one of the 13 different 'Mark' numbers given to the Cooper 500cc machines between 1946 and 1959. The 500 Owners Association has a website which has lots of details of the 500cc Formula 3 cars including details of most of the marques that contested the races in that period.
