Some years ago (many, many to be truthful) I bought some bits and bobs from what was supposed to have been the 1275 driven by Wadsworth in the 65 Monte, but it didn't get that far I think.
I do know that he did well on the 64 Leige, with a 20th and an actual finish!!
Anyone have any insights on the forum to share? I have the bag of bits and it would be nice to know any more info?

Re: John Wadsworth - 1965 Monte Carlo
John Wadsworth/Allen Cooke were No. 204 (Paris start) on the 65 Monte. Listed as BMC Cooper 999cc. DNF.
Being listed as "Cooper" does not necessarily mean it was not an S.
Presumably his private car. Previous Int outing 64 RAC was in RJY415, white/black roof 1275 S. (Liege 64 was works car).

I was told that it was a white car like mine, so that has really made me smile

RYJ 415, white and black Morris Cooper S. I have a few photos of the car on various events and spoke to John a few years ago. His earlier car was a red/black Morris Cooper NYJ 678. Here's RYJ on the '64 Tour de France..
