I thought there were two Richardson Cooper-Altas, firstly the ex-Walker car built for the BRM engine early 1959 that appeared with Richardson and Alta at the 1959 Gold Cup meeting and later went to South Africa and, secondly, a car that was more T43-ish and was raced in 1960 and 1961. Or were these the same car?
The car that came back from SA was identified by the Walker mods (according to Doug's Cooper Cars) but I don't know if it's been proven that it was an Alta car in between. So could the 1960/61 "Cooper-Connaught" be the Epstein car?
