Was it raced by the John Mecom team ?

fromwien · « **Reply #19 on:** November 20, 2024, 04:45:48 PM »

No
But, as I am sure you know the car, I want to give you a small hint: It has a special (nearly unique) feature, which cannot be seen from this perspective

Is it the Cooper Monaco used by Heppenstall to test the future Howmet's gas turbine engine ?

fromwien · « **Reply #21 on:** November 21, 2024, 04:43:18 AM »

No, the special features are parts of the bodywork

nicanary · « **Reply #22 on:** November 21, 2024, 02:11:25 PM »

Did it have a Gurney flap before Dan Gurney thought up the idea ?

fromwien · « **Reply #23 on:** November 21, 2024, 06:06:02 PM »

No
The special feature didn't affect driving dynamics or the competitiveness of the car

nicanary · « **Reply #24 on:** November 22, 2024, 03:27:56 PM »

Is there any Brabham in this car ?
