1931 Alfa Romeo 6C1750 Gran Sport "Testa Fissa" Mille Miglia racing car
This important car, driven by Giuseppe Campari, came in 2nd overall and first in class at the 1931 Mille Miglia race in Italy. Cooper Technica completely restored the mechanical components of the car to top working condition, but at the owner's request, left the coachbuilt Touring body in unrestored.
1927 Bugatti Type 35B Grand Prix
This magnificent car, one of the most beautiful ever designed, was owned and raced extensively by Mme. Helle Nice, one of the most successful female race car drivers in history. Cooper Technica restored the mechanical parts of this car for vintage racing, including the engine, supercharger, carburetor, water pump, magneto, tachometer and fuel system.
1956 Porsche 356A Speedster
When this car arrived at Cooper Technica for restoration, the body looked like swiss cheese. Cooper Technica restored the body, drivetrain, electricals and interior completely. The interior was re-upholstered in full leather and a new convertible top was fabricated to match the original.
1937 BMW/Frazer-Nash 328 Roadster (ex Lord Howe race car)
BMW distributed RHD versions of the 328 roadster through Frazer Nash in the UK. This particular car was shown at the Eastbourne Concours d'Elegance in 1937 and shortly thereafter was purchased by Viscount Curzon later titled Lord Howe. When Cooper's client Ben Rose acquired the car many years later, Howe--who was then quite elderly--asked if Rose could continue to race "their car" under his racing number--30. Cooper completely restored the engine and mechanicals to top running condition.
1937 Packard 120-C Convertible Coupe
One Chicago family has owned this car since new, purchased in April, 1937. The car is unrestored, though it has been repainted. Cooper Technica has been maintaining the car since 1995. Last year, while driving, a cylinder wall cracked in the engine block. Cooper obtained a replacement engine block with the appropriate date code and rebuilt the engine. 1937 Packard 120-C Convertible Coupe MORE DETAILS and PHOTOS

1934 Aston Martin Mark II SWB
The Mark II, introduced in 1933, is considered by many enthusiasts as the finest pre-war Aston Martin, featuring a very advanced dry-sump engine and chassis design.
