Bruce Mclaren did drive a Cooper T 49 Monaco Mk I in 1959, so its unlikey to be the same car that Cronenberg now owns if his is 63 model.

The producer is a historic car nut - David Cronenberg bought the remains of the Cooper car company many years ago (these had gone to Canada after the Cooper auction, and ended up with Cronenberg - he had a lot of drawings, the Monaco and a single seater - which were auctioned a few years back).

Ok, enough of the BS, any proper answers as its a serious question.

Chris, Shame on you!  Sad You should know, in and amongst all the BS and daft answers, the good folk of CA will give you lots of good ideas too.

The Bruce McLaren thing has got to be right. I've got a book on Bruce somewhere, I'll try and look it out, and it's years since I read it. But I think he first drove Coopers in his native New Zealand before he came over here to race with fellow Kiwi Chris Amon. I think he was pretty quickly signed up for F2 initially by John Cooper. The Cronenburg thing I really have no idea about.
