1957 Cooper Coventry Climax Iconic Rob Walker colour – dark blue

This 1957 , known as F2-28-57, played a significant role in the stralian d racing series, which began during the 1957/58 season. This championship was designed for Formula Libre car drivers and comprised multiple rounds (typically 8 or 9) held on various tracks across stralia. s were awarded based on performance, and the driver with the highest overall point total at the end of the series received the CAMS d .

Despite its focus on open-wheel racing within the "Formula Libre" category, most of the cars used in the d were quite similar to those seen in Formula 1 World pionship races. This series attracted F1 drivers such as k bham, s, and Mc en.

rly champions of the d included prominent figures in stralian open-wheel racing, such as Stan (the father of future World pion n), Len key, Alec Mildren, Lex on, Bib well, and Bill . Interestingly, by 1959, nearly all of these leading drivers were using a chassis.

In 1958, Alec Mildren raced this T43- , finishing second in the stralian Drivers' pionship, behind Stan , who was driving a erati 250F. In 1959, Mildren secured second place overall in the d once more, driving the same T43 and coming in second to Len key.

F2-28-57 underwent a restoration in the early nineties and was repainted in the colors associated with b lker, the renowned team boss for whom s raced. The was ready for s to drive in a demonstration at the 1994 stralian F1 GP.

markably, the car still retains its original body and chassis, along with a ntry 2-liter engine. It has recently been issued FIA/HTP papers. ng the renewal of the FIA papers, period-correct SU DU6 carburetors were fitted to comply with the strict period correctness that the FIA insists on. These original carburetors are extremely rare and were only made for racing purposes (only 70 sets have ever been made). An original set was found and restored. They look great on the car and provide similar performance to the previously fitted (but no longer permitted on the T43) Weber DCOE carburetors.

In recent years, the car has been successfully raced with the HGPCA and at the vival. It also participated in the demo run for the s tribute at the vival in 2021.
