  1. Hello

    Assistance requested

    Back in 1996[ 07 October] I bought a limited edition of Doug Nye’s book COOPER CARS .My book is marked 312/500

    The book was bought via what was then the John Cooper Garages in Worthing Sussex

    I have no idea why I did not pick this up way back then but I believe the book should have been signed by Doug? It is not , I can’t find one anywhere!

    If I can send this to you to pass on to Doug or to an address for him ,is it possible that he could sign the book please?

    Thnaks

  2. Hi Mark.
    I would like to get in touch with Doug Nye regarding my late father’s Cooper Bristol sports car and it’s current whereabouts.
    Can you help?
    Many thanks.
