  • Car History – Exported to Rhodesia in 1954 by with original Norton 500cc engine (probably by the Ferguson brothers) and thought to have then been sold on immediately to Jimmy de Villiers (of Cooper Bristol fame). Cooper 5210 retained original spec until at least 1958 and was then converted to its current FJ spec for a mooted South African FJ series. By I962 had been bought and was raced by Ray Reed and onwards (who built and raced REAL Alfa engine F1 cars and who probably engineered the conversion). The car then went to ground until bought by South African motor sport historian Brian Tyler who researched the car and raced it. In 2015 Brian sold the car in the UK to Alvin Davies who has rebuilt and raced the car since.
