Chassis: F1-17-61
Chassis F1-17-61 was the first of two Coopers built for the 1962 Grand Prix season. With one exception, it was allocated to Bruce McLaren throughout the year. At the car's second appearance, McLaren drove it to victory in the Monaco Grand Prix after starting from third on the grid. He followed up the victory with two thirds and one second later in the year. Sporadically raced until 1965, the T60 Cooper was eventually acquired by Tom Wheatcroft for his Donnington based Grand Prix Collection. In 2010 the Monaco winning Cooper was sold and soon after returned to the principality for the bi-annual Classic Grand Prix. Despite its highly original condition, the car ran very well in the hands of historic ace Gary Pearson, until a black flag cut the T60's race short.
