5.0 out of 5 stars
A labor of love from a racing time long gone
Nye's Cooper Cars marries exhaustive research and scholarship of the marque with an eminently readable style. A must-have for fans of Formula One's bygone years--and an excellent introduction for race-watchers who don't believe World Champion cars could ever come from the garage down on the corner.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good balance of interesting antidotes and encyclopedic information
The amount of information in this book is massive. It could easily be called the "Encyclopedia of Cooper Cars". But it is not all dry technical and historical information. It contains many interesting quotes from famous drivers, telling stories of their more memorable experiences. It does however leave a little to be desired in the engineering department...

It contains many interesting quotes from famous drivers, telling stories of their more memorable experiences.It does however leave a little to be desired in the engineering department. Little is mentioned of why different chassis designs and configurations were tried. Cooper revolutionized F1 with their rear/mid engined cars and I can't find any mention of why/how they decided to configured that way (yes I know the advantages of a mid engined car, but what led to them discovering that).

If you have an interest in vintage cooper racing or the Cooper family behind the cars this book is a "must".
