When we were approached by Mike Cooper, son of the legendary John Cooper with the prospect of re-launching the ‘Cooper Car Company’ in association with Mini Sport, we were overwhelmed with a fresh enthusiasm for the original heritage of Cooper and one of the biggest names in MINI Cooper.
Our exclusive Cooper Car Company collections are internationally recognised for reliability and power; taking direct inspiration from the original parts designed by John Cooper and Charles Cooper when the company was founded in 1946, with classic styling and high-grade quality.
Re-Launching The ‘Cooper Car Company’ In Association With Mini Sport
The Cooper Car Company has been very influential in the rise and success of the MINI. The heritage of the brand can be channelled in both classic and contemporary Mini’s with performance, economy and style always in mind. However, this is not the first time we have worked alongside The Cooper Car Company, the first time round in the 1980s we worked with the original Cooper conversion and tuning kits created here at Mini Sport. Our innovation in engineering and the success of our thriving M.A.D department has enabled us to work hard to develop parts and assemblies that are perfectly suited to enhance the driving experience of Mini and our range of engineered Cooper Car Company Tuning Kits and Brake Assemblies continue to gain international acclaim.
Who Is The Cooper Car Company?
Founded in ’46 by Charles Cooper and his son, the famous John Cooper, the two began building race cars in Charles’ garage in Surbiton in Surry, England. However it was the 50’s and the 60’s when the Cooper Company would reach its highest level. Just a few decades after founding their rear-engine, single-seat cars altered the face of Formula One; in ’59 they won the Formula One World Championship with the Cooper T51 taking honours, however with regards to rally racing, the MINI Cooper dominated the scene thanks to the Cooper S and its 1071cc engine, delivering wins in the Monte Carlo Rally events of ’64, ‘65, and ’67.
Simply put thanks to Cooper’s legacy, the United Kingdom still has a thriving racing industry, and through MINI enthusiasts all over the country the legacy lives one. After all, whilst John Cooper passed away in 2000, many of the enthusiast and aficionados passionately continue the legacy. With many customising their MINIs to thrive in rallying events which the original MINI cooper was designed for, continuing the legacy of Rally excellence seen in the ‘60s.
