    Default Formula Car?

    I got this photo a year or so back at a yard sale in Florida.
    Written on the back was, "tight fit" and dated "Ft Lauderdale Nov 60". Any ideas on what the car could be?

    Someone has suggested to me the transmission bell housing may be an ERSA and that these were fitted to some Coopers?

    Cooper would be my guess. That is based on the visible frame rails.

    Default Cooper-Ford

    Alan Stearns and Bob Dusinberre, both from Fort Lauderdale ran a Cooper T52 in 1960-61. It ran a Ford at the March 61 Sebring. Could you post a photo of the back of the photo?
