1960 Cooper T53

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1995.

It's a 1960 Cooper T53, the car that brought Jack Brabham the second of his two consecutive World Drivers' Championship titles in 1960 and was powered by a 4-cylinder inline 2,497cc Coventry Climax FPF engine. There were two races at this meeting featuring Grand Prix cars of this era, a Pre '61 Grand Prix Car Race in which Gerry Porter drove a Cooper T53 and car number 10 was a Maserati 250F, and a Pre '66 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars Race in which Allan Miles and Stephen Griswold drove Cooper T53s and car number 10 was a Brabham BT11.
