News
On the positive side Jerry Greaves completed the full race at Lime Rock in his Emeryson. He
complained that the muffler zapped the power of the J.A.P.
Denis McKenna's Mk IV has a killer new rear sprocket and chain and a stronger gearbox
mount. We backed down the compression and rolled the cams to fire the rear 310 degrees
after the front rather than 50 degrees before. It should run more like a twin the a gigantic
single.
Great strides have been made with the Texas Mk XI and we hope to have it ready for
Pittsburgh.
We completed the "MonsterStarter" to be able to start the Carlhiem twin. It has a 400cc
engine, a heaver chain, bigger clutch and shorter gearing. The prototype starter has passed
along to Phil Lamont along with a new quickjack.

Lime Rock on the first of May in his Cooper Mk XI - JAP. Fredd and I will be in
attendance to fettle the car.
We now have all of the late Cooper frame brackets programed for the mill.
Watch "Fredd's Mk XI" page, we're making a pair of ft upright and stainless
pedals (+ stainless a arms.) Also watch "Work in Process" page as we are
building a fuel tank complete with original NOS Enots filler ( i have four more
fillers) to accept an alcohol proof fuel cell.
Let me know when you send in your entry for PIttsburgh and I mark it on the
entry page. I just had a call from a feller in Detroit who is coming down just to
see the Formula III's run, let's put on a great show for him and all the other's
who love the smell of burning Castrol. Willie Gadwa, a national champion in
the sixties, will be coming and I propose we make him Honorary Grand

COOPER CAR CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT
large COOPER stickers available again ~~ see attached image
"New stock of these very special 600mm / 24" diameter self adhesive
stickers is now available again for immediate delivery worldwide.
The artwork, especially commissioned by the Cooper Car Club, is extremely
high quality with particular attention paid to correctly replicating the original
COOPER badge lettering and colours.
Easy clean & durable gloss vinyl face on a release paper backing for
straightforward surface placement.
Essential requirement for every dedicated Cooperiste and ideal for trailers,
trucks, transporters, vans, business premises, workshops & garages etc.
Also great looking when used as a mounted display at race meetings.
The cost is £20 each sticker ~~ this price remains unchanged from the
previous batch 2 years ago.
Worldwide P&P is £10 per order up to 6 stickers.
European P&P is £5 per order up to 6 stickers.
Carriage free anywhere on orders over 6 stickers.
Or, by prior arrangement, I can free deliver any quantity to UK race
meetings.
I really would prefer that you send me £UK folding money by post (or a £UK
cheque), that way I don't have to round up the equivalent in a different
currency which inevitably slightly bumps up the cost to you.
However, if you can't do £UK then I'm sure that we can come to an
arrangement no problem.
Please let me have a postal address for delivery and confirm the sticker
quantity required and I'll get them off to you immediately."
