Morris Minor Owners Club

Chris, what’s the current estimated arrival time of the much anticipated booklet ? It’s all gone a bit quiet! Les Lots of personal stuff going on atm. Ler's face it, what's the point of producing a booklet only I find of interest. I appreciate Mr.F's enthusiasm,but, in reality, I'm hitting my head ...

Minor LCVs As most of you know, I've undertaken the task of making sense of Minor's assembled at Adderley Park. Quite a lot of progress has been made, however, many more details are required. I don't need registration numbers - nor last 2 digits of chassis number - I DO need the vehicle model, its' ...

Hi POMMReg, thank you for the response, what did you mean by weights more important? Only reference I can find to on the log book is 746.1 KG unladen. Also not sure what is meant by Pea green chassis plate. Regards, john. It's an Austin 6cwt pick up. The pea green, wishy washy blue coloured thing i...

Not unusual to have V prefix on pickups, weights more important, put it down to many more van vin plates available during production.

Can do the spare wheel bkt captive nuts check, if threads painted = genuine pick up.

Pea green BL chassis plate?

Anyone fancy doing some number collecting for me?

Has to be someone well known in the MMOC circle....NO-ONE called Kyle, wearing a NY baseball cap, Super Dry clothing & trainer's please,

Thanks

Well, FOUR hedgehogs in the garden tonight!!

E-mail back from the Transpoet Minister's office, have NO control over sale of old logbooks, however, those advertised WITH a current v5c lockbooks can be voided, ie; reasoning behind regns often obscured.

Nice long message, but nothing we didn't expect!

My "database" doesn't contain owners' details, simply model/vin, and,where poss. original owner, engine/body/g'box/r'axle nos. DoFR & triplex/lucas dates. Obviously, armed with this info, it will make it MUCH more difficult for the criminal fraternity IF prospective buyers discover "numbers" of the ...

There are certain enthusiasts on here , which I know would help you once they see your request, but how much info you give them is entirely at your discretion, after all you can pick up chassis plates etc on the internet and whoop Your gone is gone, so take care when handing out so much info. I’d l...

Engine is Nov/Dec 1968....IF "B" error for "3", if error for "2", mid 1967.

MA-U-L is either Minor LCV or Police panda.

Production of this unit - having spent over 30yrs of number collecting - none higher than 370k.

Therefore, engine replaced an 803cc APHM unit.

Worcestershire index mark "FAB" used 9/61 & 2/65, if vehicle is on a C plate, would make it a very late '64.
Chassis stamped into the b/head, BMHT will, for a fee, issue a Heritage Certificate based on this number.

Check the DVLA site to see whether vehicle is on there.

All we can do is record them, interestingly how some vendors ALSO hide the registrations, not just the chassis numbers....so why would anyone buy a rf60 with NO idea of the regn..as for "Uncancelled",
just plain dodgy to me!!

Mmmm...

Emailed a certain MP.....see what 'appens!!

Anyhow, I'll give it a go, SO much scope for vehicle theft if all some basket has to do is buy a £20 logbook off ebay & pinch a vehicle. Additional problem being DVLA place more importance on "documentation" than it does on actual evidence that the vehicle IS what it proports to be....ie alarm bell'...

In correspondance with DVLA to resolve the problem of the sale of logbooks/rf60's.

Those of you with advice, comments etc. please contact me.

Thanks.

Fishier than a haddock thats eaten a plaice, a tin of tuna & had a night of passion with a cod, a salmon & a mackerel.

Ok, so........ people hand over their money without seeing the car? And do these cars actually exist?? It all seems very mysterious..... People are too trusting, best off messaging poss scammers questions only a genuine owner would know, henceforth, "what's the body/engine number", request pics of ...

Contact them, point out the error & they'll issue a correct one.
Check the colour of the sump, should be red on a March '57 engine, designation likely APJM, not 9M.

Hope this helps.

Marilyn, I apologise.
