Cooper? Looks like their works in Surbiton. Note Dunlop R5 tyres too

The Cooper T54 Indianapolis car being rebuilt into the BMC Aston Martin Cooper that Pedro Rodriguez failed to qualify in 1962
So, the year will be 1962 and the place is the Cooper factory
I'm not sure about the person - is it Ron Dennis?

You've got the car, but that's not Ron

Next guess: John Cooper?

Max Mosley?!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** December 04, 2010, 05:47:58 AM »

Not cooper, nor Mosley.

The picture was not taken in the UK, nor in 1962.

Let's try again
Date? 1963
Place? Kjell Kvale's San Francisco workshop
Who? Kjell Kvale

No further ideas. Anybody?

Briggs Cunningham?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** December 05, 2010, 07:03:08 PM »

Not him

The mystery man is well-known in racing, and helped to engineer many Anglo-Saxon race cars.

To save some time, it is not Caroll Shelby

Phil Remington?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #16 on:** December 06, 2010, 06:39:39 AM »

Not him

Joe Huffaker redies the BMC Aston-Martin Cooper in San Francisco prior to shipment for trials at the 1963 Indy 500.
