The Cooper Bobtail might have come about for an aerodynamic reason .
Without the cutaway it might have had the profile of a wing .
The date of this was just a couple of years after Jaguar tried their " Low Drag " C type at Le Mans , & although they tried to keep the reason for retirement quiet , I am fairly sure that the C type was nearly flying off the road on Mulsanne as it was an ideal shape for aerodynamic lift .
So , perhaps by then , Cooper had figured it out & was not going to make the same mistake .
