It wasn't a Cooper as such but iirc, it was a Mini Minor with a 998 Cooper running gear from the factory, an MA2S4 chassis number but 9F engine number. It may have been a police car - lots of Police Rover 3500 SD1's were specially built from 2300 cars with basic trim and no self levelling rear suspension. JOF is a Brum number plate.
Watch 'Robbery' and you can see the 100 mph speedo.
I sold it in 1999/2000 to a well known restorer of Minis. It has yet to resurface however.

It would be interesting to see what Heritage have down in the ledger for that one.
Somewhere in the Netherlands in the early 60th.
