I have not been able to find anything on Bob Chase and only very little on the team here on the TNF. Who was he, etc.?

Bjorn, recommend you read 'Cooper Cars' by a certain Mr Nye (who is too modest to mention it himself). That will tell you a lot of what you need to know.

What ! It's sitting in my regal for bad times. Thanks fuzzi

Anyone know anything about colours ?
The team used a Commer 1½ decker bus for transport which later went to Gilby then JBW/Naylor. The transporter is shown in the book Renntransporter , but only b/w.

I'm posting here as a reminder to check my records when I get home. I probably don't have a definitive answer but I may have at least something.

All I've got is a couple of small black and white photos, and they both show a very dark color. Judging by the team name one can only assume that it was a very dark green. At the Nurburgring in 1953 they had a small bit of color at the top edge of the radiator opening, but I have no idea what color that was, whether it was used anywhere else, or whether it was on more than just one car.

Thanks very much for trying.

I found that besides the Bob Chase name , the team name Equipe Anglais he also entered under RJC Motors , would that be Robert J. Chase ?

Anything else news ?
