At the end of 1961, Tyrell gave the car back to Cooper, who sold it to up-and-coming actor Steve McQueen, the legendary actor, car collector, and racing driver. McQueen also bought a Mini-Cooper and attended Cooper’s race school. McQueen took both cars back to California and began racing FJ-2-62 in California, scoring a number of victories, including the Santa Barbara street races
