VIN / Engine Number
The Mildren Cooper Climax Type 51, never previously offered for sale but after almost 40 years of ownership, imminent retirement from racing forces it's sale.
Type 51 Cooper copy with 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 coil suspension and a two litre short stroke Mark 2 Climax FPF motor make this a very competitive package.
The car has important racing history established in the early 1960s and raced at some Australian International events. A similar ex Mildren Cooper was placed fourth at the recent Goodwood Revival meeting.
It holds Group Lb Historic lap records at Winton, Eastern Creek, Wakefield Park, Amaroo, Oran Park plus Grafton and Mt Cotton hillclimbs with geriatric driver so there is plenty of potential there for a more enthusiastic operator. It would be the least expensive and easiest to drive front running pre 1960 car available in Australia.
Naturally it has a CAMS Certificate of Description certifying it's provenance. At A$165,000 it is far less than similar cars being offered overseas.
