David McKinney should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It would have been helpful if reports in the 1960s had been more specific!
The Dick Soames car is supposed to have been the ex-Jackie Epstein and Mike Eyre T43-Buick, which in turn was reputedly ex-Geoff Richardson with Alta engine. Except that the so-called Richardson Cooper-Connaught was supposed to have been a T51, and went to South Africa in 1961. So maybe the link between Richardson and the Epstein-Eyre team should be ignored...
The car owned by Jeremy Keegan (Rupert's brother) also raced as a T51 when it appeared in historic events in the 1990s, which would make it too new to have done much racing in Argentina in 1958. It has been campaigned more recently by Adrian van der Kroft
