The Cooper Mk I sports car was built shortly after the Prototype 500 racing car and featured a one piece aluminium body over a modified chassis, Triumph twin engine and many of the same Fiat components of the prototype.

John and Charlie were enthusiastic about the prospect of a production car but nothing really came of it, partly because the garage was soon working flat out to build the Mk II production single seater but also because the Triumph engine didn't produce the same power output as the JAP and the greater weight of the car meant that performance was blunted in comparison with the prototype. Only one car was ever produced which still exists.

The Checker shown in the above pictures was displayed at the London Motor Show in 1965

Outside the Savoy

Publicity shoot

This one was on display at the London Motor Museum around 10 years ago

A 13 year old lad with a name just like mine was very impressed when he saw the Checker at the 65 motor show. He was also impressed by another yank with a turbine under the bonnet which was also a marketing fail.

That might have been one of the Chrysler turbines ( not sure if one was ever exhibited here).
