Sparky should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Do any of you fine gentlemen know where I might be able to find a photograph of one of the Cooper Car Co. Ltd. Minivans?
The ones John Cooper used to tow the British Saloon Car Championship Mini Coopers.

I believe the vans were Brunswick Green with an Old English White roof and bonnet stripes, and sign written with the 'Cooper Car Co. Ltd' logo and Surbiton phone no.

I have a really grainy piccy from Classic and Sportscar (Nov. '92)

Rover also used a replica of the van on a display at the Essen Motor show I think. The cars were placed in glass 'boxes'.

Anyone have a shot, or does anyone know of a suitable website?

Thanks in advance!

Sparky,

I've got a copy of Doug Nye's 'biography' of Cooper Cars, there might be a shot in there...

Unfortunately I won't be back in the office to post here until next Wednesday (so I'll probably forget).

Sparky,

I looked through my Cooper book (and a couple of other Mini books I have) and there wasn't a picture of a Mini Van There were plenty of pictures of the racecars in the same livery but I'm sure you've got plenty of those anyway...

Thanks for looking, Guy.

I'm building a 'replica' CCC minivan for my own 'Cooper' business.

I expect the big man in Brighton will have something to say about that, though!

Anyone know of any sites with a piccy??
