Morris Minor Owners Club

To be fair these were NOS visors still in their sealed bags from Newton Commercial that came with a complete reupholstery kit. They were not used because my car was never fitted or drilled for visors.

I have a pair of new unopened sun visors from Newton Commercial.

Please see attached pictures.

Happy to accept half the current price plus postage at cost or collection from South Croydon.

What is the date code on the tyres?

The MOT history is interesting, seems the car has had a couple of speedometer replacements over the years.

I believe you said you would be using an HIF carb in which case you do not need to worry about float bowl angles, this only applies to the HS (and earlier)

Agreed, correct spring, jet and needle are essential if you don't want to get in a complete pickle.

Pardon you! Cyrus, you’re absolutely right re the 60 mph - it just feels like I’m running at 9000 rpm. No idea on your performance idea but I’m going to try just the carb.

It would have had leather (faced) seats as standard in 1961.

These are Newton Commercial seats covers and panels fitted to my 1961 convertible, and are correct for the year.

Yes, the clutch pedal return spring, ask me how I know

So I have made a right c**k up here :oops: . The (outer) bowls I have are the top ones in the illustration and I have attempted to fit the inner bowls shown in the lower illustration to them, not surprising that I never used them as this combination will not work. I will separate inner and outer and...

Thank you

I am having a bit of a clear out and found these metal headlamp bowls I bought some years ago but never fitted. I seem to remember there are two types, one with a big spring tensioning the outer bowl to the inner, and one without, mine are without. If anyone can tell me which car the "springles...

On a positive note, the escaped oil does look nice and golden. My drips are black
