		The Cooper Car Company was founded by Charles Cooper, as a result of being asked to make replicas of the successful 500cc Formula racing cars he built for his son John and Eric Brandon.
		The Cooper frame was not strictly a space frame because it used four curved main tubes with struts in between and lugs to act as pick up points for the various components.
		The first of the rear engined sports cars arrived in 1955 with tubular chassis and retained the transverse leaf spring held between rollers, so that the position of them could be altered to modify the anti-roll effect.

	From the Rear: a Brief History of Cooper
		For the British Grand Prix of 1955 the Cooper Car Company wheeled out their first Formula One car, a the Bristol-powered T40, wrapped in an aerodynamic body reminiscent of the previous year's Mercedes W196 'slipstreamers', with the young Australian Jack Brabham driving.
		For 1959, Cooper was a serious factory effort, and the combination of Jack Brabham and the Cooper T51 Climax took on the might of Ferrari and a resurgent BRM to take the World Championship.
		Cooper did pick up a win with John Surtees in Mexico, and Pedro Rodriguez at South Africa in 1967, but by 1968, Cooper were reduced to using customer BRM engines at a time when BRM themselves were starting to slip from the front rank of teams.
