Longer Body Moulding - beneath rear window query

Post by **POMMReg** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:36 pm

Hope to make a list of 2drs with this feature - made from c1949 - c1959.

Need chassis,bodyshell codes & body/ progressive numbers please.

ALSO, Tourers with "A" progressive number prefixes.

By the way, does anyone know the FULL body number of NWL 576?

Thanks

I think this came in roughly after September or October 1950, my May 1950 lowlight doesnt have it.

Davids Lowlight is Cowely built, not CKD, dont have many details of CKD lowlights from here.

Does anyone else have a theory as to why production of the LBM varient
should continue alongside the standard 2dr bodyshell?

Has this ever been referred to in publications dedicated to the Minor?

I think you should have it already Chris, reg OPE 478, chassis SMM 48803 and dont know the body number off hand!

A member of the South African MM Club was interested in this subject, I will try to find the emails.
The LBM finished some time 1957-8. This will give you an excuse to poke around the cars at the Nat Rally

David,

No, didn't have it!

Please pm the FULL body number ie code & prog. AND BM.

Engine number, BD (build date) or RD (regn date) handy too.

Make life easier for Mike Perry if nowt else!

Cheers

Chris

Most logical explanation is that Cowley had the option to convert 2drs to
Convertables and vice versa.

The rear gutter would not be in the way.

Also explain why there were MORE Convertables produced than body
numbers suggest.

Are "Dual Identity" cars simply cancelled CKD's?

Soooo many questions unanswered OR just plain "iffy"!

Probably WRONG on both counts......

Would someone (Mr.Q?) please post a pic?

Basically,an LBM describes the moulding under the rear window which continues
PAST the gutter line - whereas a non-LBM stops AT the rear gutter line.

Also the wiper motor plinth to sort out too..

Just putting in a "marker" for this thread, as this subject was already being discussed in another thread - my 2-dr 1951 Series MM has this molding (the black one in the "sig").
