A friend of mine is currently campaigning a famous T 45 Cooper that was apparently originally campaigned by Denny Hulme and also driven by Bruce McLaren in his early career. I wondered if any of you Antipodean TNFrs have pictures of this car in its original days with Hulme or McLaren at the wheel. A distinguiishing feature is that Denny had a pair of SUs fitted which remain to this day and give good performance against expectations!

McLaren raced it only in the 1960 German GP
It was first raced by Merv Neil in Europe 1958 and NZ 1959, then Hulme in NZ and Europe 1959/60 (except for the German GP)
I have loads of photos of it in 1958-66 (and post-restoration) and could supply the owner with a full race-by-race breakdown if required (for a small fee, naturally )

Thanks for the kind offer David (have passed this to owner) and the comedy too Karl!! Hoped to find some original snaps from racegoers at the time. David has some but maybe someone else has something as yet unpublished that could be aired here?

I saw in the last few days on Youtube a brief but good film of Hulme winning at Teretonga or ?? in what may have been this car
