Green Chequer Roof The Cooper Car Company Ltd, owned by John Cooper, was formed in 1947. In 1961, after official collaboration with the BMC, the first Mini Cooper was announced. This sporting version, recognised by its 11 horizontal grille bars, had a twin-carburettor engine giving 55bhp and a top speed of 85mph. Later Cooper ‘S’ variants featured the famous 1275cc, 75bhp engine which had a top speed of 100mph. By the time Cooper’s agreement with BMC lapsed, in August 1971, 145.493 Cooper Minis had been built, the last in July 1971. Produced for Past Times Limited Edition 7.500 pcs. (with certificate)
