Neil Preston created the green Cooper S and it is finished to a standard that I could only deam of. His next car has two engines as well......Jag derived 4 cylinder twin cams.

The amazing original 'Twin Jag Mini' built by Gordon Allen below in 1965 (from the John Baggott 'Mini Racing Story' book).

Funny! The auctioneers don't seem to want to boast how John Cooper all but killed himself when his "twini" got away from him on the Kingston bypass and how that ultimately led to the demise of Cooper Cars ...

And how do you link that to the demise of Cooper Cars?
