Morris Minor Owners Club

Looking at the pics on the e bay advert, you already have a later engine and box. Need to check the diff ratio. Could still be the original 5.375:1
Nice car btw

I've come across three different 803 gearsticks on my travels;

Long straight - off a 1953 car
Short straight
Short, bent - off 1956 car I think.

None to hand so I can't compare the size of the fitting at the stick base.

Ash is more flexible than oak - one of the reasons it has been used for car bodies for so long.

Ash prices should fall once Ash Dieback takes hold

Knowing how we all love to discuss log books on e bay.....

Andy

What colour should the dashboard knobs on a black 1955 car be?? Brown or black?

Andy

An observation..... When I joined the club in 1983, The Chairman was John Frye, Secretary Ray Newall, Spares Office Bryan Gostling. When I left the club in 2014 - (club membership was of no benefit to me; - also no thanks for your support / why are you leaving after all this time?), the same three p...

debating what engine it was...hence the groan...

This info was taken from chassis plate, not the engine, which is why we are still none the wiser...

Nice car
Whereabouts in Sussex are you??

Will we see it out and about or does radiator need fixing first??

Andy

Suggest contacting the Morris Register - this forum is for the post war Morris Minor only

1949 Oxford / Six / Minor (lowlight) brochure currently on on e bay for £30

That reminds me, Chris, where's your mate, the one who's helping you with the lbm research!! He must be knee deep in it, not being here lately Doesn't appear to be a forum member anymore - has changed all his posts to 'bye bye'...... Opportunity for someone else to fill the gap? Must be someone on ...

You could start a thread on the LBM......that would keep the word game off the top spot

Andy

There may be a drain plug / tap on the radiator or engine block (near the exhaust pipe)

32 years ago today I bought my first Minor, XWL 61 ,which I still have

Anyone had one longer??

Andy

Yet (so far) only 3 LBM,s from October 1956 to December 1957, Series 3 two doors have been 100% verified, and NOT one of them is totally original. What do you mean by totally original? An earlier post indicated all 2 door saloons built between 1951 and 1958 were LBM. Surely there are plenty of 1956...

Have you ever ridden in or driven a Minor? If not, I would suggest you do before you dream any more! Check out your local MMOC branch - I'm sure there will be someone who can help..

Andy

Well we haven't been told how the numbering system works, or indeed what the 'F' suffix denotes, so difficult to know the response. How about letting us know? Then those who are interested can note and those that are not can dismiss. ......and publish the evidence to back up your assertions that to...

So back to the subject.... Having owned my Morris for 32 years I am fairly au fait with the difference between models..... I have said in an earlier post that I don't find the notion that tourers were made from chopped saloons or vv. plausible, this... But there were still some Series 2 BODIES Lying...
