Back in ‘65 I bought a brand new Morris Cooper from the dealership in Narrabeen, a northern beaches suburb of Sydney (Australia). As yet, there are no Scapes for that area of Australia, but there are quite a few from Victoria.
Here’s “my Cooper“ on the Great Ocean Road. I even remember the number plate 😂
Tech specs. This had the short stroke 998 cc motor. I asked the famed tuner, Bob Holden, to work a little affordable magic, and his work on the ports and head boosted the top speed from 86 mph to 99. At that speed, it had pretty much run out of revs. Fitted with Michelin radials, (a hand-me-down from my previous Morris 850), the handling was a lot of fun.
