The '''Cooper T59''' was the third series [Formula Junior](/source/Formula_Junior) racing car produced by the [Cooper Car Company](/source/Cooper_Car_Company), designed for the 1962 season. Similar in layout to the [T56](/source/Cooper_T56), the T59 was five inches narrower and one and half inches lower than its predecessor. A semi-reclining seat position was adopted for the driver.  The chassis frame was stiffened up and the front and rear roll centres raised. T59s were supplied with either [Ford](/source/Ford_Motor_Company) or [BMC](/source/British_Motor_Corporation) ['A series'](/source/BMC_A-series_engine) engines.
