In 1959 and 1960, Cooper racing cars won both the Constructors' and the Driver's titles in the Formula 1 World Championship in 1959 and 1960. And so it is only obvious that in the course of time nearly all legends in motorsport have driven a Cooper: from Jack Brabham through Stirling Moss all the way to Bruce McLaren.


Ever since the Mini was created, the two names Mini and Cooper have been linked inseparably. For after his spectacular entry into Formula 1 in the early '60s, John Cooper soon also focused on rally racing. And the small and agile Mini quickly proved to be the ideal car for this purpose, soon showing even the well-established teams with their much more powerful cars its rear lights. So Mini's victorious achievements in the 1964, 1965, and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies are already a legend.


The Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S were also extremely popular on the road, enhancing the reputation of the classic Mini as a nimble performer with outstanding driving characteristics.

From the start, MINI integrated Mike Cooper, the son of John Cooper, and his Company, John Cooper Works, in the development of new high-performance models. So each MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works Tuning Kit comes with all the passion and know-how of an outstanding company and equally outstanding individuals who have set milestones in motorsport one decade after the other.
