Love this shot!

Can almost make out the smoke coming from JC's ears!

**edit** can't seem to post pic, it's the one of JC looking thru the cars window.

Does anyone know if Nick ever paid royalties to JC?

I have always wondered.
I suspect not which may have been part of the problem?! :(

Or do you mean in compensation subsequently? Wasn't there legal action (or threat thereof) which forced Vortz to stop using the Cooper name?

I well remember admiring the cars at Beaulieu at the time.
