The upholstery looks a locally made type, so could be CKD.

What's the event, any idea Paul ? He did compete with his own Cooper S in Ireland but that's certainly not it, interesting photo, around '65 I'm guessing ?

I have no idea when and where, I just came across the pic and thought how interesting, door trim, interior, RHT etc and was wondering if anyone could shine light on it ?
What trim did the Irish CKD Cooper Ss have ?
Great picture what ever.
