Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Jack Brabhams 1961 Indy car, purpose built by Cooper, starting the rear engine revolution. Meticulously concours restored to 61 condition (after usual racing metamorphosis to a Chevy powered sprinter) in 91. Carefully used and demonstrated since.

Market commentary

A completely unique and seminally important race car, reportedly with 70% of its original components, beautifully restored and still capable of 140mph demonstration laps at Michigan. Indy cars dont bring much money, though, and it could have sold.
