I used to do a lot of research for Hornby (Scalextric) and I've just come across these two images of two cars presented to Mike Cooper (son of John Cooper)
Both of the actual (real cars) were owned by me, Mk.1 Morris Mini Cooper S (Gp.2) and a Ford Escort GT, that eventually had a 1300 twin cam engine (long story)
Hornby modelled my cars as a thank you for my work, I still have my Cooper S slot, but I can't find my Escort, and until tonight I never knew they were ever anything other than 1 off's!!!!!
