James Garner is shown here with his ’66 Morris Cooper S, a left-hand-drive (LHD) model. This pic, taken in 1966, shows Garner and his Mini.
Of course, he wouldn’t want to drive just any old Cooper S, would he?
His Mini has a custom two-tone blue paint job, Webasto full pull-back sunroof, chromed external door hinges, flip-top alloy fuel filler, chrome exhaust tip and alloy wheels with chrome lug nuts and white-lettered Goodyears.
Garner’s rise to stardom began with the 1963 movie, “The Great Escape.”

Bought a Blu-Ray DVD of LE MANS with Steve McQueen at K mart last weekend for only $8. Very good restoration of the original print.

Funnily enough, the TV series was called "Maverick" John...with Bret and Bart Maverick (and in later seasons, their English cousin, Beau) playing well dressed gamblers :D

He's a bit more of a casual dresser than his mate, but there wasn't anyone cooler in 1965. According to an interview with Garner that I read, the two were next-door-neighbours, and they both brought their minis back to the US after they finished filming "The Great Escape". They'd race each other up and down their neighbourhood.

Although is late at night, I've been watching the Rockford files and they are still a good watch after many years and he does his own driving.

According to a biography on McQueen he had the opportunity of driving professionally for BMC, but instead elected to pursue a growing opportunity in the movie business
