John Cooper Works garage

From the same (forgotten!) source as my Fake Invaders CDROM, some photos of John Cooper Works garage taken at the end of July 2006, right when the place was closing down - memories for some (including me) and sorry-I-didn’t-make-it for others …

Wonder where these pictures are now?!

A sad view:

(at least I still have my JCW bear!)

    Incredible timing Ian! Just got back from the UK and can tell you some of those pixs and ‘HI5 FUN’ are at Mike Ravens at Classic Minis. Will be posting pixs of my trip in a couple of days. Passed by the old garage and it has been redone with no sign that Cooper Garage was there :(.

    I guess there’s a reason why they decided working for BMW was better or did BMW just buy them out?

    Ian - very nice, be sad indeed. I would be categorized in the wish I could have seen that group. I came close, but never made the garage, as was distracted by meeting David Vizard.

    I’ll bet there’s some cool stuff in those boxes.
