 |  |  | FJ Monoposto Racer |
It was the Cooper T-52 in which John Surtees made his four-wheel debut at Goodwood in March 1960. He finished 2nd to Jimmy Clark and both went on to become future World Champions. Ken Tyrrell ran a team of Works assisted Cooper Formula Juniors throughout the 1960 season with John Surtees, Henry Taylor, Mike McKee, Keith Ballisat, John Love, Ian Roby, Jo Schlesser and Denny Hulme as his drivers.
Originally sold in the UK and not exported to the US until 1984, this car may very well have been one of the first FJ's campaigned by Tyrrell in 1960.
