This 1968 Morris Cooper S Mk II is described as an 'exceptional competition prepared Works replica' with 'superb history and condition'. It has undergone significant recent mechanical and cosmetic refinement totalling over £10,000, including comprehensive recommissioning and major engine/transmission optimisation. Lancaster Insurance confirmed an agreed value of £65,000 in January 2026, indicating near-perfect condition. The only slight detraction from a 'Pristine' rating is the description of it being 'competition prepared', which implies it is used and may have very minor signs of use not noticeable without close inspection, fitting the 'Outstanding' category.
