Cooper T56

This was one of the competitors in the Millers Oils/AMOC Historic Formula Junior race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulon Park in August 2004.

It's the 1961 Cooper T56 car of Peter Jackson, and is pictured here at Lodge Corner during the race. The Cooper T56 was the second Formula Junior car produced by Cooper and was originally provided with a 994cc BMC engine. This particular car is chassis FJ/21/61 and was originally a Cooper works car, but was later sold to French driver Robert Bouharde, whose livery it still bears, and was later fitted with a 1,098cc Ford Cosworth engine.
