1960s northern California
racer Chuck Tannlund offers his memories
of this car:
Hi Tam,
Re: your new mystery car
photo, I believe it to be the Cozzi Jaguar Special.
About 1957, D.O. (Dan ) Cozzi
commisioned Nadeau ( Nate ) Bourgeault
to build a Jaguar special for him while he was living in Italy. I only
remember the car racing a couple of times. This car was really beautiful
when it was finished but never enjoyed any success that I can remember.
I can recall it was entered as a Cozzi Jaguar, D.O. Cozzi, driver.
Nate built the car at his
Sausalito, Ca. shop which he shared with another icon of northern California
racing, Bill Breeze Sr. Nate died quite a few years ago but I don't
know about Bill. I do know one of Bill's sons, Joe Breeze lives in Marin
County & is himself famous in the mountain bike business. He may have
additional info or pictures of the car.
I hope this info is of help
to you.
Regards,
Chuck Tannlund |
