I need a pic of Allen Grant's 289 race car (Coventry Motors)

[PSB]

Anyone have a non-copywrited picture of Allen Grant's race car, (yellow & black Coventry Motors) that we could use on the London Cobra Show website? Our 2012 raffle car is going to be a replica of this car, built by Unique.

Also, what is the CSX number for this car?

Thanks,
Pete

Allen`s yellow coventry motors car was csx 2128 which tells you what body style. Great looking car to copy

Interesting that the Shelby American Museum doesn't list Allen Grant as one of the drivers - are they just snubbing him since he wasn't a "team" driver at the time? Shelby American Museum

If you guys want to build a true to original car, I'll donate you one of my slab bodys

Thanks for the offer! Unique is modifying one of their 289 FIA bodies for us.

There are more pictures of the car in my photo album. New at trying to post pictures, hope this works, if it doesn't you can email me at cobra4271@msn.com

I'll go out in the garage and take more pictures if you need it. I'm storing the car for Allen at this time.

This car is owned by Allen Grant it is a aluminum Brian Angiss built car with Fia body . Motor is a roush 302. The car is set up for vintage racing. I am told Allen will have it back for the London Cobra show next year.
