Hola,
Legion recently uploaded his excellent new Cooper Monaco T61P, with a Maserati engine. This car did exist in period, and was a one-off beauty.
A brainchild of inter-war racing driver 'Tommy' Atkins, the Cooper-Maserati ran a big 5L V8 instead of the more common Climax engines, which gave it the necessary grunt to fend off the Cobras from overseas. Tamed by the great Roy Salvadori, the Cooperati ran well in the British "Big Banger" racing series, a sort of early form of Can-Am.
This livery represents the car as it ran the 1964 Guards Trophy at Brands Hatch, where Salvadori would fail to finish the race after 35 laps. Surprisingly, the suspension failed and the engine survived!
Comes with a custom ext_config to remove the side bolts (thanks Rodger), custom texture map for both the body and rims for the more metallic-like look.
This car/livery combo fits very well on @Flow13800's 1970 Brands Hatch Skin!
