Description:

William I'Anson Ltd offer for sale the Sebring 12 Hours Class Winning, Works Entry 1956 Cooper T39 Bobtail.

Built in early 1956 and entered by the Cooper Car Co. for the 1956 Sebring 12 Hours where is was raced by Leech Cracraft and Red Byron. The pairing went on to win their class, taking 21st overall after the 12 hours of racing.

Raced extensively by the subsequent owners Fred Sclavi and Charlie Kolb, who both won races in the Cooper. After several other owners in the USA, CS11/1/56 became a long term part of renowned Porsche collector, Dr. Julio Palmaz’s collection.

Having returned to the UK in the early 2000s, CS11/1/56 was bought by the current owners in 2005. Benefitting from a substantial amount of work done in 2012 by Brazell Engineering, CS11/1/56 has not been campaigned since and remains in very tidy condition. 

This is a highly eligible and desirable entry for a wide array of 50's Sportscar and Pre-65 GT events including the Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic.
