Re: 1954 split screen
XVU followed by digits was issued from May 1959, however digits preceding XVU is a recent DVLA issue. Go to the DVLA vehicle check website and type in a few similar registrations - you'll see what I mean! Many current DVLA re-issue numbers seem to use 'X' as one of the letters - presumably as these ...

The plant is Verbascum thapsus, commonly known as great mullein or common mullein, hence 'mullein moth'

Re: Getting desperate!
Tell them that you have information on the early history of the car. That might swing it.
Good luck.

Classic car snobbery
Have been doing a good few miles around West Sussex and Hampshire this weekend in the Morris - lots of classic cars about- probably coming from and going to the Goodwood Revival. I always wave to other cars I pass but why do owners of 'expensive' cars never wave back? Once you buy a posh car do you ...

Re: 1959 split screen??
There could be a number of reasons why the registration date is given as 1959 - import / export, log book error etc, however the chassis number will give a definite year. Nice Stewart and Ardern plate!

Re: series 2 with original 1098 engine
Just to clarify this is not my car
I wouldn't ever spend 15K on a Morris Minor, - in fact I don't think I have spent that much in over 30 years of minoring - spares, servicing and cars!!

series 2 with original 1098 engine
Can anyone provide more info more about these supposedly rare cars fitted with a 1098 engine from new (whilst all others were fitted with 803's?). Never heard about this one before, and I've read most of the Morris books! Andy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/morris-minor-1098-splitscreen-/172293015964?has...

Re: Chassis number stamped position - on bulkhead?
Isn't the chassis number on later cars stamped in the drivers side floor?

Re: LOST 1963 MORRIS TRAVELLER
If the number has been put on retention then yes, it would be all but impossible to trace the actual vehicle, but as I said, the DVLA database still shows it on a Morris Minor.
Only a call to National Numbers will solve the mystery

Re: LOST 1963 MORRIS TRAVELLER
It would appear that numbers held on retention do not show up on vehicle searches; for example on the TFL site are listed as 'no vehicle details were found'
