Notes on the cars:
- Cooper Mk IV 'T51' [F2-4-59] (Bill Thomasen): "Works Car No. 2" according to the Cooper Register. Believed to be Jack Brabham's main car during the early part of 1959 and then became a spare car when 27-59 appeared at Zandvoort. According to Doug Nye's Cooper Cars, this would then appear to be Jack Brabham's 1960 NZ GP car.
- Cooper Mk I 'T41' ['F2-4-56' or 'F2-P-56'] (Bruce Abernethy): The first of the Cooper Mk Is, this car was fitted with a single cam 1460cc Coventry-Climax FWB engine and raced by Roy Salvadori at the 1956 British GP support race and on three further occasions in August and September. It was then sold to Syd Jensen in New Zealand, still with its FWB engine, and later passed through the hands of Ron Frost, Tony Shelly, Bruce Abernethy and Bill Clark. The chassis number of this car is unclear. It may not have had one. (Sources: Cooper Cars, Nye; Historic Racing Cars of New Zealand, Vercoe)
