Are you in the U.S., or U.K.? Do you want to own one, or would borrowing or renting be sufficient? In the U.S., the Country Dance and Song Society has 12 videos of a variety of teams made by Tony Barrand when he was visiting the England in 1979 (4 Cotswold, 3 Northwest, 1 sword, plus one on clog (not quite Morris, I know)). There are another two: "40 Minutes with the Seven Champions Molly Dancers", filmed by Philip Bone in England between 1985 and 1987, and "Morris Dancing in England 1994", of the Rumworth Morris of Bolton, filmed by Geoff Hughes.

There must be something equivalent available in the U.K. from EFDSS or one of the Morris umbrella groups.
