John Cooper was an engine tuner back in the sixties. He specialised in tuning the original Minis. The Cooper Minis had great success in various motor sports. Later it became the name of the sportier Minis. When BMW owned Rover they designed the new Mini. After they sold Rover they kept the rights to the Mini and Cooper names.

The Mini Cooper was a British car of the 1950s and1960s . It was related to the Austin Cooper and the Morris Minor(there was a mini minor) and MG(Morris Garage). It has a shape nearly the same as the BMW Mini. The did buy the patent before they used it.

The original 60s mini was tuned up into a special by John Cooper and he has been making these ever since.
