After just recently registering here perhaps someone can help with my quest , I am looking to put together some of the early history of my 1965 Cooper S ,
the car was driven in the 1965 Circuit of Ireland by Mr Connie Bourke from Co Limerick and won the 'touring car up to 1300 ' class on that event . it was then used for many years for racing , Rallying , autocross etc , I acquired and restored it to a basic standard in 1990 and took part in the 1991 Circuit of Ireland retro rally where we retired with gearbox failure . I then took part in a few other events in 91 and 92 when I decided to do a full restoration and of course like all best laid plans and 19 years later it is still not finished ! or anywhere near finished , I am looking for any photos on the 65 Circuit or any subsequent events and of course if anyone has any pics of the car on the 91 Circuit retro I would love to see them . I am planning to sort the car over the next few months and get it out to some events in late 2011 or 2012 . the reg number is NIU 596 and it is Smoke grey with a Damask red roof , Irish cars had weird colour schemes !! any help the knowledgeable people here can give would be really appreciated
