T71/73 F1/F2 hybrid, which is partially based on the T73

The Cooper T73 is a 1.5-litre Formula One car, designed, developed and produced by Cooper Cars in 1964. It was driven by Bruce McLaren, Phil Hill, John Love, and Jochen Rindt. It was powered by the Coventry-Climax FWMV 1,500 cc (1.5 L) V8. It did not win any races, but managed to score 3 podiums, all with New Zealander Bruce McLaren. A derivative hybrid version, called the T71/73, was a mix between the Formula One T73, and the Formula 2 Cooper T71 chassis.[1][2][3][4][5]
