1959 Cooper Monaco MKI Type 57 Navigation
This 1959 Cooper Monaco is one of the few 1959 Monaco's originally supplied to the USA. The original owner is unknown. Research by the previous owner suggested that this was the Rodger Ward car which was fitted in 1961 with a Buick engine and later replaced by a 260 cubic-inch Ford. The car came back to Europe in 1987 in partly dismantled shape. Its subsequent two owners died before restoration was finished in May of 1993 by Massimo Ripamonti of Milan, Italy. The present owner bought it in December of 2001 and races in the BRDC sports car S series.

It is powered by a four-cylinder engine capable of producing 180 horsepower.
