The Cooper T53 is a Formula One car built by British motorsport team Cooper for the 1960 Formula One season. Jack Brabham drove it to his second World Championship that year, and with teammate Bruce McLaren gave Cooper its second Constructors' Championship.[1][2][3][4]
A T53 was purchased by Honda as part of its own F1 development efforts and can be considered the forerunner of Honda F1 machines. [5][6]
