Our ref: FOI-0602-2122/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 22 June 2021 asking for technical drawings for the COP stock.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you require. This is very old rolling stock that was last used 40 years ago, and we do not hold any drawings or relevant information.
I have also contacted our Corporate Archives. They have advised me that a search for rolling stock, narrowed for CO/CP does return information about the stock but no drawings, a summary list of the most interesting files are:

As they are original files they can only be viewed in their original format in the Corporate Archives public search room which is currently closed, due to reopen in January 2022. Until then the Corporate Archives are unable to provide in person access to material.
The London Transport Museum do hold a drawings collection to support with the upkeep and maintenance of their vehicle collection so you may wish to view their online collection:
If there is anything else the Corporate Archives can assist you with, you can contact them directly and they can provide further information about their collections and the service they can provide remotely: [email protected]
