1961 Cooper T-56 FJ Monoposto

This T-56 Formula Junior has raced continually through its life on a regular basis. In 1961 Gerry Heharey of Surrey, England purchased and assembled the car under the Formula Junior, Formula 3 and Monoposto rules until the 1980s when it was finally sold to Robert McLaughlin of Dallas, Texas. The car was refreshed in the 1970s, but is presented as it was originally assembled and purchased by Mr. Heharey in England. It has Ford Cosworth 1098cc dual Weber 45 DCOE4 carburetors, Renault four-speed transmission, tubular space frame chassis, magnesium bolt-on wheels, Cooper rack-and-pinion steering, and the brakes are radial-finned drums. Front and rear suspension is independent by unequal length wishbones, coil spring/damper units and anti-roll bar. The weight is approximately 900 pounds.
