Cooper, Surbiton, England. The was the second Cooper Formula Junior car, replacing the T52, and raced in 1960 and 1961. It looked very much like the contemporary Cooper F1 car. There were both works cars and those sold to privateers. Steve McQueen raced one in the USA. In Europe Tony Maggs won eight races and tied Jo Siffert in the European Formula Junior Championship driving one. Many other famous drivers drove them including Denny Hulme, Richard Attwood, John Love, John Rhodes, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Walt Hangsen. They normally had 1.1 litre Ford Cosworth or BMC engines.
