Morris Minor Owners Club

Apols, bit behind with everything Morris Minor atm, hope to have an answer to your query shortly.

The C 1874xx (missing last 2 digits) number confirms the build month & its non GPO.

£200 for an A35 van 1098cc engine id plate?

First 3 digits of chassis nos. will be 242xxx

Used to be a site which would provide the LAST 3.

Would you email me the rego, I may have it.

The plate on the o/s is the BS1965 seatbelt Anchorage details. Below is 2 holes, on a '68 probably unused. Have a look down the inside of the n/s dr, sometimes you'll find the plate stuffed down there. At the top of the n/s b/head there should be a plate - long narrow thing - with 2 sets of numbers,...

1968 at the earliest I would say

10V engine 4/69 onwards if original to the car.

Walsall seems to be a hub of dodgy vans, so beware.

Send pic of vin plate,the car showing model & reg.

Holes there for export models.

Hm.Mkt with just the single plate with BS1965 guff on it.

Below not used on later Hm.Mkt LCVs, when vin plate attached to the nsf cab dr card.

Anyone else notice chemists having "problems" with medicine suppliers?

My latest prescription was of a cheaper brand.

Could this mean the launch of the booklet !!

Must remember all this info I'm trying my best at making sense of was destroyed 45 odd yrs ago, FRESH & MUCH more accurate info is what's needed, this is where the benefits of knowing cab & engine nos. come in handy!!!

Thanks Phil, that will be brilliant.

A revelation at Webbs LCV rally last sunday, hold onto your hats....

Even I get have to take a break from being a Minor historian, in the meantime...

It was meant to be sarcastic, I didn’t say he’d set a good example.

I know Mr.P.

Boris has set an example...

An example to reply, WITHOUT providing a detailed answer....easy to SAY things IF you're fantastically wealthy & whatever happens - with the mayhem Brexit will cause - isn't going to effect YOU!!

I think you will find that the rear legs are shorter for the LCVs. This is my understanding: The saloons have a floor that dips to the rear seat footwell. The LCVs have flat foors, so their rear legs need to be shorter or the seats would be too erect. Here in Oz, all LCVs were fitted with bench sea...

Surprised there's been NO mention of Boris thus far?

Does anyone know if is possible to tell the age of an engine from the engine number? Chris.

Those fitted at production yes, RKM's & 8G's...have NO idea!!

Plug you phone into the pc should be able to download all

Number ranges for Abingdon

Thanks Russ.

According to all these Minor publications, only 50 pickups assembled at Abingdon, yet 10 still exist, doesn't make much sense!!

I must have an image of a chassis plate, e mail what you need and I will trawl images must one from a van somewhere Thanks Russ... LCVs OE## /0123456 & OE##/123456G Abingdon needed, PLUS Hindustan built Minor's. Have had to either draw id plates or nab them off google images. Loads on my old mobile...
