One job was moving John Cooper from London down to Angmering or Ferring (I think). We moved all his memorabilia etc which was fascinating.

The Mini Cooper was originally designed to be a nimble, economic, and inexpensive sports car. It was innovated by John Cooper in 1961 who altered the Classic Mini design to make a higher performance, racing version. He gave it a more powerful engine, and other enhancements, to stand out in the crowd, and the Mini Cooper was born. His son Michael is now involved. At one time a family member had a Mini Cooper- even the dipstick and gear stick had the name on!<br />ArilxArilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447764056767139963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459096535013512763.post-55072838450976803952016-03-29T12:34:06.785+01:002016-03-29T12:34:06.785+01:00My question is if there are mini cooper's, wha...My question is if there are mini cooper's, what is a Cooper? I had a VW bug for about 6 years-loved it, but eventually the need for more room hauling kids again took over.
