Hi peeps,

I don't know if u remember but John Cooper Garages produced a glossy brochure around 1998/2000 which contained lots of John Cooper branded accessories.

My question is, are they still available?

I'm after a rear window sticker, a tax disc holder and the pack of window sticker (with humorous cooper s sentences etc)

I don't think so as JC garages stoped selling classic mini stuff 3 years ago and someone bought the job lot for £200,000 so rumours say............

Clicky for Classic Minis

These guys bought all the stuff from JCG, whether there is anything left only they will know, give them a ring. The website has been like that for ages so how uptodate is anyones guess.

I believe the guy that runs it was some sought of manager (possibly commercial) for John Coopers.

Oh and the Mota-lita signature steering wheels are still available from Moss, W&P and other quality outlets otherwise its ebay

id buy a set of RSP or early mainstreams in poor condition, refurb and respray white. The centre caps do appear on the bay from time to time.

I wish seen 2 sets in the last few months, the worse conditions went for close to £30, other ones brand new went for around £50!

Centre caps wouldn't be a big deal to me, I just love the white look. Will look into it. Any idea how much a respray of wheels costs? can it be done with a standard car painting spraygun (we have one..)

there is a guide somewhere possibly in faqs. But to be honest if you have a spray gun your halfway there. Stripping can be done by hand but the best finishes are where the wheels are blasted before hand to remove the finishes and any corrosion.

for the humorous stickers do you mean things like "youve been cooperd" and "cooperb". I have never seen a set of those for sale, but dealer rear window stickers and tax disk holders do come up

the picture above is not of the later JC accessories.

the photos shows the optional extras and accessories that were available for the JC 1000cc conversion kits that were sold around 1989 for the racing, flame and checkmate cars.

You are as always correct Anorak, It does look like the back of the green fronted 998 conversion catalouge, probably why the holes line up with the spokes on those wheels.
