History of our Morris Minor

Post by CowleyKids »

Good morning

We are trying to find out the history of our Morris Minor. We know how many owners etc... but we would like to try and find out when she was built, originally registered and such like information.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance.

You can buy a heritage certificate, this gives you details of build date, despatch date and where to as well as engine number original colour and spec. Not cheap though, the last one I got about 2 years ago was about £37.00, but a very interesting bit of history

Heres a link to the British Motor Heritage Trust shop and to the certificate

Hello,

Thank you for responding.

The reg. is AYB 848B.

We think YB is Devon but we are not too sure.

The rest???? it would be nice to know. We may try the heritage cert. if that can provide substantial info. it would be worth the price.
