Thanks

Team Speedwell weren't really one integrated team.

Speedwell would sponsor or at least help many of their customers all over the country either with parts at cost, experimental parts that they wanted testing or is you were very good & had some good results & could guarantee good local press coverage they may give you an engine or the like.

All these cars ran under the team Speedwell banner, usually displaying a yellow & black "Team Speedwell" sticker or two on the car.

Ken Lee's Green Cooper ran "Team Speedwell Yorkshire" for many years.

I have seen a few variations & have some copies, but have no idea where they are.

I suspect that a lot were done as 1 offs, or at least in very small batches.
