Cover No 10 in the MCM F1 series shows Sir Jack Brabham in a Cooper-Climax T51 leading the Monaco GP from Tony Brooks in a rare short wheel-based Ferrari D246. Sir Jack Brabham went on to take the 1959 drivers championship and Cooper won the Constructors trophy. The thick white bonnet lines became a feature of virtually all Cooper Cars and can still be seen today in the famous Mini-Cooper styling.
The extra special is signed by SIR JACK BRABHAM and TONY BROOKS. Early it on it was decided that if Sir Jack Brabham was to sign it had to be 1966 with him driving his own car and also winning both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. We were extremely fortunate in that having signed the 1966 covers the legendary Sir JACK BRABHAM agreed to sign again - this time he has signed the 1959 cover depicting him leading Tony Brooks in the Ferrari D246, Jack Brabham went on to win the World Championship with Tony Brooks coming second. To go the extra mile we approached TONY BROOKS who has kindly agreed to sign a second batch. The result is a stunning double-signed cover signed by the respective drivers depicted on the cover.
