    It's chassis #1, Mears did all the testing and development work in this car, it was then the team spare, later driven by Kevin Cogan who went through a few chassis'.

    The livery is from '83 and was probably done for the Japanese museum who owned the car for many years. Correct livery would be the blue Gould colours with Cogan's name on it.

    still reckon a Williams-Cosworth F1 is the ideal race car for you.

    Thats a lot of Royalties on match day size balls.
    The trust fun is in my fathers side.
    I'm half tempted to have a go at a repco V8 powered car that is for sale at the moment,figure if I raced it 3 or 4 times a year,rebuild would be maybe every 3 years or so.

    My grandfather on my fathers side was the same,one of Australia's wealthiest men in the late 40s to his death in 1963,drove Rovers,had no interest in cars,prefered property and looking after those whom needed help.
    Thus the trust fund was formed.
