CHARLIE COOPER.

Charlie Cooper is the Grandson of auto racing legend and MINI Cooper mastermind John Cooper. And to this day our iconic MINI 3-door Hatch is still affectionately known as the ‘MINI Cooper’. A legend in his own right, Charlie has grown up around our cars and even made his racing debut in a MINI as part of the annual MINI Challenge. When he’s not racing, he’s off adventuring in a MINI Countryman John Cooper Works.
