Hi All,
I thought I would show off some pictures of my new toy / project.....
The Beast is a 1 owner since new, 10 - 11/1967 Morris Cooper S purchased new from Tanunda Motors in Feb 1968, here in South Australia, and it was delivered from the dealer with the Venetian blind, ST rear swaybar and Dunlop Alloys. I can remember the car from way back as a little fella, and my dad has known of the car for 36yrs, as it lived down the street from us, and about 12 years ago my old man and I tried to buy it with no luck..... Then it disappeared.
Then about a week or so ago my old man came home to find a letter in the letter box and all most had a heart attack, and couldn't call me soon enough...
The car seems to be 95% complete, apart from the boot board, badges and some other bits missing.
Now it’s mine and it’s time for a full restoration to bring it back to its former glory, as it was delivered from the dealer.

I for one, would leave as is (loose the radio) clean & polish - then enjoy
