Yuk. Don't like that new font they're using. Looks weird. And no wreath? I guess they lost that in the BMW takeover?

The wreaths were only used in the decals and seat badges. The new decals still have wreaths but there are no seats being offered. The font has only slightly changed. It is a bit more vertical and possibly slightly thinner but it was never consistent through different components in the past and I think it is a bit more consistent now.
There are a number of changes in the conversions kits from the originals. For example the S Pack for carbs used to have a 3.44:1 FD included, the exhaust system was by Janspeed (now it's Maniflow) and the air filters were in a retro style box.
At Beaulieu the Cooper stuff was being sold through MiniSport's account. It was interesting seeing Mike Cooper's MINI H15 FUN parked next to Paddy Hopkirk's MINI Y333 EJB.

Paddy Hopkirk's latest F56 Mk3 MINI Cooper S with his Y333 EJB plate spotted at Beaulieu today.

Mike Cooper sold the JCW brand to BMW in 2008.....it was not part of the 1994 takeover of Rover as Rover did not own the Cooper brand.

If we get enough TMF members in a group buy, do you reckon we could get the kits for like 90% off? I really want a 998 kit....

Lots of nice bits but majority of it is worth more than my car alone I'd say!

The prices suprised me, I spent less than the price of the 1275 kits on the parts for my whole 1380 build :/

This will sound daft to many, but I'm new to minis. Is it acceptable to buy cooper gear to fit to a non Cooper car. I.e mine is a Sprite, not a cooper.

That price though... and doesnt include a camshaft? Real coopers have a 544 cam right?

None of the original kits included a camshaft, except the "Super" kit (MCC 1275SS) as fitted to the Cooper Grand Prix. The earliest kits were for 998cc Minis before the reintroduction of the Cooper in 1990. The 1275 RSP and Mainstream carb Coopers already had (or should have had) a MG Metro cam so these had an advantage before conversion.

Apparently
Yes it is mini sport that are selling them and Mike Cooper is to do all the PR... Chris and Mike Cooper set up the Cooper Car Co so when you email or call them it is cooper car company you deal with
