Cooper-Porsche Mark Viii-R 1953 Nr2

This car was originally built for speed record attempts, but was developed by Pete Lovely into a sports racing car. I has a Porsche 356 based engine of 1600cc that develops 160 hp. The car weighs less than 1000 pounds. This car would beat Porsche's own 550, and won an SCCA F-Modified championship.
