Cooper Bristol Mk1 Chichester 52 Fangio by K & R Replicas
Cooper Bristol Mk1 Chichester Cup 1952 Fangio
Although mechanically very similar and with the same basic body style, there are subtle differences between all of these Coopers with different air intake and exhaust arrangements all carefully observed. Leicester garagiste Bob Gerrard and Ecurie Ecosse’s David Murray were regular competitors in the type, but Fangio in a Cooper? The car he drove at Goodwood was Alan Brown’s Ecurie Richmond chassis and the Chichester Cup was a Formula Libre event, the maestro coming home sixth with a misfire.

About K & R Replicas
Well cast and easy to build, if rather crude, metal kits. Usually accurate though occasionally a bit odd. Wire wheels of the self - assembly type. Decals, when included, often slightly yellow (typical of many English makers) but will bleach with exposure to u.v. light. Now including a little more photo-etch. Made in England.
