Scenes from the 1966 MGM film "Grand Prix" were shot inside the Cooper building.
For those who remember it, the scene where Pete Aron signs to drive for Yamura and is photographed shaking hands was in the drawing office, and the characters then go downstair to the race-shop floor for a seat-fitting.
However all the cars visible were Lotus, not Cooper! Either Lotus 25/33 or Lotus 20, all disguised as 'Yamuras'.
I look forward to being able to visit the building - is there any access at present?
