Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Made from some parts off Tommy Atkins Tasman Intercontinental Cooper raced by Bruce McLaren including body, tanks, wishbones, exhaust, gearbox parts and wheels. New frame with no number. Period 2.75 liter Climax FPF. Not raced in six years but very clean and orderly.

Market commentary

A neat car, with an intriguing if somewhat tenuous history, with a generous price paid for the origil bits that survive.
