Cooper-Lancia T52

COOPER T52-LANCIA Formula Junior FJ/16/60

Period specification and history.

  • A unique car, this Cooper T52 rolling chassis 16/60 was delivered from the Cooper Car Company to Elaborazione Facetti in Bresso near Milan, for wealthy young driver Enrico Agostini. Agostini was an experienced racer, having won the Italian Hillclimb Championship (1100cc class) in his Lancia Appia Zagato in 1959.
  • The car was delivered engineless but otherwise complete with a Cooper/ERSA gearbox, into which legendary engineer and racer Carlo Facetti installed a Formula Junior specification Lancia Appia V4 engine.
  • Agostini is known to have raced the car at Cesenatico in April 1961, XI Circuit del Garda April 1961 (finished 8th), Monaco FJ race in May 1961 (entered as the “Cooper-Lancia-Facetti”), and Monza in June 1961.
  • Little is known of the car’s history after 1961 but it re-surfaced in the 1980s in the hands of Rodney Tolhurst running a standard Appia engine and Renault gearbox. It ran in the US and UK for a number of years with a BMC engine and Hewland gearbox, until no longer eligible for FJ races in that form.
  • The car is now back in its original specification for the first time since the early 1960s, after a 5-year restoration which included sourcing the correct 8-port Lancia Appia 1950s engine and Cooper-ERSA gearbox. The restoration was carried out with the direct assistance and period verification of Carlo Facetti. The chassis and running gear were restored by FJ specialists MRM Racing and the engine rebuilt to full-race specifications by Setford & Company.
  • It has a current FIA HTP valid until 31/12/2031
  • Other than general testing, it is fresh from restoration.
  • The car has been a Goodwood Revival invitee on 2 occasions. Lurani class C2 and the new C3 class for rear-engined Lancia and Fiat powered cars make it a potential overall winner of the UK Formula Junior Championship.
  • Sold at Revival 2023 for £73K, now offered at £65,000.

Gemini Mk II

One of only 4 Cosworth-Ford MAE engined Mk2s built, chassis 1025 was exported new to the US in 1959 and remained there until 2015 when it returned to the UK. It then benefited from a bare-frame rebuild by Iain Rowley at Delta Motorsport and Iain has maintained and improved the car ever since. Both bodywork and paint are believed original and are wonderfully patinated although it currently wears a GRP nosecone – the damaged alloy original is present and repairable.  Most recent work (2023) includes:

  • full engine rebuild by Iain Rowley
  • Urban Fassler cylinder head
  • Carburettor rebuild by Gower & Lee
  • Distributor rebuild by Distributor Doctor
  • Set up & rolling road at Dan Setford’s, giving 101bhp

Available separately are 2 complete sets of aluminium bodywork and a Ford MAE rebuilt to mild race specification with around 10 hours use.

  • Now ready to race, the car has not run since the above works were carried out and will be sold with a fresh HTP, in-date belts and extinguisher. The car is at Delta Motorsport in Oxfordshire.
