Cooper T59 – FJ.28.62

Chassis number 28 was the last official chassis released from the Cooper factory. It was purchased by David Cole who campaigned the car in period in Formula Junior, coming 3rd at Goodwood in March 1963 and 8th at Roskilde Ring in Denmark in August 1963.  Formula Junior finished at the end of 1963 and the car was raced in the Monoposto Formula in the seventies after which it was retired for a while. In the mid eighties the car was purchased by Peter Walker as a rebuild project and upon his death the restoration was completed by Alan Baillie. By this time the car had been fitted with a Ford engine and a hewland gearbox. John Harper purchased the car in 1990 and raced it for two seasons. It was then purchased by Alan McGregor in April 1992 and campaigned successfully in the popular Historic Formula Junior series for several years. Andrew Wilkinson bought the car in 2009 whereupon it was renovated again and is now continuing to be campaigned in HFJ.
