MM dash

Post by Autobahn »

Does anyone know if a split screen MM series was ever fitted with the later dash as generally fitted from '55 onwards.

Basically was there a transition period when the last '54 MMs may have used the newer dash layout?

The interior and grille of the Series II were changed in 54, the windscreen was changed in 56. However I have seen a Series II with the early grille and central speedo. Not counting the Morris fire engine.

An MM would always have the dash with the juke box grill in the centre, speedo, oil and fuel gauges in front of the driver and a glove box lid with a badge on the other side. Usually painted gold on most cars but can be body colour on CKD cars.

Thanks for confirming it's possible as I was thinking of changing dash to earlier 'gold/jukebox type.

I am restoring a 803cc '54 4dr split screen with cheese grater grille but with central speedo.
