History
The T52 made its debut at Goodwood in March of 1960. John Surtees drove that particular car to a second place finish
behind Jimmy Clark. The T52 was raced with limited success for they were outclassed by the speed of the
Lotus 18, which had the power of the Cosworth Ford engine. However, despite this disadvantage, Henry Taylor
managed to win the prestigious Monaco Cup and the Albi Grand Prix.
