1965 COOPER T75 ALFA ROMEO, F2-2-65, 1-LITRE F2

  • History … For sale on behalf of the family of the late Jim McConville … the first production T75 built by Coopers in February 1965. Sold new to Stirling Moss’ mechanic Alf Francis with its sister F2-3-65 (now in a Japanese collection). BMC XSP-engined, Jackie Stewart set a new lap record at Silverstone. Alf Francis then fitted a unique Alfa Romeo 998cc twin cam (either a stretched 600cc or shrunk 1300cc, to be decided) supplied direct by Alfa Romeo and running on twin 45 Webers and a five-speed Colotti-Francis gearbox.
  • Both sisters were sold by Francis to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis who planned to use them as academy cars for aspiring F1 drivers. Instructor and sometime race driver was Jo Siffert. Onassis withdrew when one of his proteges was killed in F2-2-65.
  • The car was sold to the US where it raced in Formula C fitted with a 998cc Cosworth. It was restored in the early 80s and sold as a roller to Jim McConville who imported the car to Australia in 1990 where it was fitted with a race-spec Alfa Romeo 1300cc twin cam while retaining the Colotti-Francis gearbox. It raced very successfully in Australian historic racing for 30 years until Jim’s passing in 2019. It was also raced by Jim’s son Robert, both with considerable success.
  • In 2012, the car was re-united with its original Alfa Romeo 998cc twin cam engine which was reconditioned in 2018. It has yet to be installed in the car.
  • Now … Current condition of the car is best described as “as last raced”.
  • Pricing … asking AUD55000.00
