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.

I suspect not which may have been part of the problem?!mk1 wrote:Very nice!
Does anyone know if Nick ever paid royalties to JC?

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.
