1962 Lola Mk4

This car was driven by Marcus Pye in the Maserati UK Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.

It's the 1962 Lola Mk4 of Duncan Dayton that was campaigned in the 1962 season by the Bowmaker Racing Team in place of the Cooper T53 cars they had used the previous season. The Lola Mk4, like several of the other teams, used the 1,496cc V8 Coventry Climax FWMV engine and three of these cars were apparently built, this one being chassis BRGP42 that John Surtees drove in most of the Grand Prix races in the 1962 season. Car number 19 behind the Lola is the 1963 Cooper T66 of Sidney Hoole.

Cooper T66

I photographed this car at the VSCC's Boulogne and Hawthorn Memorial Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006, but it's not listed in the programme of the event.

It's a 1963 Cooper T66, and it appears to be the ex-Rob Walker car of Sidney Hoole. The T66 was a slimmer version of the Cooper T60 with revised suspension geometry, but it wasn't a great success on the track.
