I have a question: Are the Coopers American or British? I love antique cars and am always interested in learning about them. Thanks in advance.

"...Are the Coopers American or British? "

Actually, they're far more German than anything else. American designer provided the styling, the company is historically British, but now owned by BMW, the engine is pure BMW and the component assembly is obvioiusly German when you start removing parts.

"Officially" it's got some British manufacturing involved, but I don't see it when I start pulling wrenches... distinctly German in every mechanical way that I can see.

Cheers,
Lloyd

I think BMW makes them in England.
