Morris Minor Owners Club

Get that booklet on the market ! You’ll then be able to buy top of the range!! :o Need one to finish it off, try writing typing a VERY long e-mail when the blasted thing shuts down every 10mins....scribbling down notes, then when back on, cannot understand what calculations are for what....

Thanks

Save up the pennies

Anyone have info on post facelift S11's saloons with pre facelift chassis numbers?

Sort one thing, ANOTHER rears it's head!!

Appreciate advice on buying 2nd hand laptops please, best make etc.

For each bodyshell, allocated a code by NMP, differing on each varient.

This code defines age/model, if, for example it were "Z31234" it would be a 1962 Minor.

The BODY number - the set of nos. to the right - whittles the build date to within 2mths.

Believe me, it's quite a simple system.

I see no ships, only hardships

OK ..so how is it de-coded? I get '54' for year, or even '4' for 4-door in there (but not both at the same time, of course), but I don't get the significance of all the numbers....

Do I have your car's details?

Over 150 body codes used.

By chance (almost) I discovered my car has an NMP plate in the engine bay floor. It was dirty but cleaned up well enough to read the number. What does the number actually mean? It is Z15491.2 The "Z" number is the bodyshell code, gives the rough build year/months. BMF number narrows it to month(s)

Bodyshell codes?

Only ONE way to get numbers.... ......SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT again...Eeeerh.. Think it was an experimental binary code; □ ○○ ○○ □ = 948cc 4drs □ ○○○ □ = 1960 LCV □ □ = 1098LCV/AddPk Traveller? How about setting up a specialist "Research" dept. within the MMOC, long overdue, missing SO much! Mr.Ploppy e...

SMM 2drs □ ○○○ □
1960/64 drs □ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ □

It DOES get worse...8 variations thus far...

1954 4dr?

I’m not sure you’re right to say there is a blissful indifference to research, granted we’re not all compiling a data base, what would be the point of that, we’d all be logging the same details. The fact that folk have shown considerable interest in the offer to buy your book suggests there is supp...

My query based upon seeing some CKD LCVs with 3 circles between the rectangles(thanks simmitc), although whether replacements for rotted out sill's - one deffo a converted saloon cab - I'm not sure? Do CKDs, Cowley & Abindon builds differ, or is it anything to do with a vehicles' age? Mr.Onethingsol...

My AP Traveller has oblongs each end - both before and after I replaced the boxing panels. Never seen a minor, or an image of a minor, with anything else, apart from amateurish welded patches covering the holes. Thanks Mark..no 3 circle cut-outs between? Unique to AP assembled Traveller's? I know 2...

Another mystery to solve....not seen it discussed before...like to add this to the id booklet for a definitive answer. Concerns the boxing panel that forms the inner sill's, either side of the floorpan. LCVs have an oblong shaped hole front & back, those with seatbelt anchorages...Zzzz What do the r...

Have chassis nos listed, but no further details.

I'm more than willing to help out, seems to be take take take....answered an enquiry from mmoc last wk...not even a thank you... Infuriates me that all these Minor clubs don't work together, appear to be controlled by angry, bitter chaps with NO real enthusiasm, seem to get a kick out of hindering t...

MMOC doesn't seem to have anyone within their midst into the "number crunching" side of things.

Whereas, Cub's catering for the likes of the Mini & the Triumph TR DO...daft the MMOC, one of the largest, most popular Classic Car Club do NOT!

Lots of insects in poo, not burning the poor sods!!

Can think of a few ppl to burn....

REALLY sad day, as one of our Robin's died

As I have said you just need to go with what you got publish it and I am sure you will generate more interest and can work on the updates! How close are we.....to having the product? I think folk have seen you constant plea for info as Les says since the 1980s but nowt tangible appears. Guess you c...
