In which case I think it could be the ex-Walker T66 with a 4.7 Ford V8 in the boot, campaigned in the first year of F5000 by Mike Coombe and John Dean, coloured yellow according to DCN in Cooper Cars . I can't find any pics of this particular car, but on the BRDC website there are a couple of pics of Coombe's Porsche 906 liberally plastered with Shell and STP stickers just like this one is.Originally posted by Stephen W

There's a shot of said T66 Cooper in the same livery and with no. 36 in Cowdrey's Formula 5000 A-Z, with Coombe heading for 10th at Oulton in September 1969 - assuming the caption is correct.

That'll be the same Mike Coombe, then, who runs Midland Racing Models in Rugby.Originally posted by Tim Murray
