Came across these pictures in our local framers a few days ago. Weird as they're very similar to our two cars. Thought it would be nice to share them.

Re: Morris Art
The characters in the pictures appear to be wearing COVID face masks 
.
An example of Morris owners being ahead of their time?

Re: Morris Art
I bought this a while ago at auction.
Hand painted on timber board whoever did it made a decent job of it.

No its not an original sign, its hand painted but on MDF board.ian.mcdougall wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 8:54 pm I would say that was an original sign looking at the detail
Very well done whoever did it though, I like it as its a bit battered and bruised and brightens up my garage.

Re: Morris Art
I asked the better 'arf for a few Minor related things for my Birthday this year, including an A3 (approx) size reproduction Advertising Poster, mounted on a composite material of some sort. Far cheaper than an original metal one.
The idea being that I could easily drill it and convert it into a wall clock for the garage; if it went wrong, I hadn't ruined anything too expensive.
Wall Clock is now mounted where I can easily refer to it while working on the car.
I picked this particular poster as it wasn't too 'messy' an image, so the clock could be made out OK, and it's a Black SII

Re: Morris Art
Hang on to it - if someone else gets hold of it they may 'upgrade' it to a digital one!
