After many many years researching this iconic film and contacting the people involved in the making of the original film in 1968, a key moment occurred in January 2006. The  film registration numbers from the original film Coopers came up for auction. The bidding was nail biting stuff but we made the winning bid. This has allowed us to build three exact film replicas with the huge help of Remy Julienne (the genius behind the film stunts) and (via the DVLA) have registered all three Coopers with the original registrations....you can't get closer or better than that !
