Cooper 1953 MK VIIA was designe by Francis Beart, best known as an expert engine tuner, especially Manx Nortons but he also built his own car based on a Mk VII. He received considerable co-operation of the Cooper factory, to the extent that Coopers authorised a specific Mk number for the car, the Mk VIIa. The Beart Cooper was driven by Eric Brandon and Alan Brown and occasionally by Stirling Moss. Later in '53 and '54 it was driven by Stuart Lewis-Evans. The Beart showed Coopers that they could not rest on their laurels and a number of these modifications were adopted by the Cooper factory for the Mk VIII. The car continued to be competitive for an very long period of time, Trevor Taylor taking several wins in 1958. Brands Hatch is a motor racing circuit in West Kingsdown, Kent, England. First used as a grasstrack motorcycle circuit on farmland, it hosted 12 runnings of the Fomula 1 British Grand Prix between 1964 and 1986 and currently hosts many British and International racing events. The venue is owned and operated by Jonathan Palmer's MotorSport Vision organisation. Brands Hatch stands for history and British motor racing at its best. Back in 1925, the first motor-bike races were held at Brands Hatch on a grass circuit. Legends such as Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, James Hunt or Ayrton Senna already celebrated race wins at the time-honoured motor-racing venue.
