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

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

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
