Presumably another T45 upgraded to full T51 specs, this Cooper T51 was used by Brabham to clinch fourth in the United States Grand Prix in epic fashion. Today the car is owned by an American collector. He brought it to the 2009 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance where the fiftieth anniversary of the American Grand Prix at Sebring was celebrated. A week later the car was at Sebring and in the build-up to the 12 Hours sports car race, Jack's son, David drove several laps in the T51. He also re-enacted the push across the line but from a lot closer to finish.
