Dominic Cooper cuts a casual figure as he fixes his classic car in London
Mama Mia! Here we go again! Hollywood star and car enthusiast Dominic Cooper is in trouble with his £10,000 classic Fiat 4×4 Sisley convertible after five cars were stolen in a year
He has had bad luck with his vehicles having previously stolen five cars over the course of a year.
And Dominic Cooper appeared to be having trouble with his classic Fiat 4×4 Sisley convertible when he checked the bonnet on Thursday.
A classic car enthusiast, the actor, with the help of a friend, went to see the vehicle – which costs around £10,000 – before taking his Go Cycle from the boot of his car.
The Mama Mia! hunk looked unfazed by his car troubles as he chilled out in a pair of aviator sunglasses that shielded his eyes from the sun.
Dressed in low profile black pants, the star paired them with a plain white T-shirt while wearing white-and-red Nike sneakers.

In 2021, Dominic called for help on social media after his fifth car – a Jaguar XF – was stolen in 12 months.
The theft came just four months after his rare £83,000 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was stolen from outside his home.
And his bad luck with cars goes back to July 2020, when he had his 1950s Austin Healy car, worth around £65,000, stolen and its replacement – a red Jaguar F-Type coupe p300 – taken shortly after.
The following month, a Range Rover he had been using to deliver meals to NHS staff was also stolen, sparking a social media plea for his return.
Feeling like he was being targeted, Dominic wanted the residents of his Primrose Hill neighborhood to be vigilant for car gangs.
It was previously reported that Dominic’s latest series The Gold has been renewed for a second series.
Based on the infamous £26 million Brink’s-Mat heist in 1983, the crime series stars Jack Lowden and Hugh Bonneville.
Jack plays Kenneth Noye, the ambitious crook who arranged for most of the £26 million worth of gold bars to be melted down and sold.

Now, according to The sunis now set to explore in more detail the stories of other figures in crime such as Charlie Wilson, the great train robber who attempted to launder money through Pablo Escobar’s drug ring.
A TV insider told the publication, “This will be music to the ears of fans, some of whom have already seen all the episodes on iPlayer.
While every channel and streamer loves to revisit true crime stories, The Gold seems to have captured people’s imaginations.
‘It is not only a nostalgic trip full of 1980s cars, clothes and music, it also gives a deeper insight into the background of the criminals involved.

“Now they’re going to investigate even more characters involved in the original crime.”
In the true crime adaptation, the Paddington star, 59, plays Detective Superintendent Brian Boyce and the Slow Horses star, 32, takes on real-life crook Kenneth Noye.
Building on the success, the BBC has also commissioned a one-off, one-hour documentary about the investigation, The Gold: The Inside Story.
