Following the adoption of the 500cc formula for F3 in 1949, Cooper evolved the Mark III to use a 500 cc (31 cu in) JA Prestwich Industries (JAP) single.[1]
The ladder frame was retained, with the aluminium body supported by hoops.[1] Lockheed twin-shoe disc brakes became standard,[1] coupled to two master cylinders.[1] The suspension was Fiat 500 transverse leaf spring independent suspension, used at front and rear.[2]
