Will need the chassis/VIN nos. PLUS body number to confirm.
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

In the first photograph, the car appears to be an early 50's Series MM convertible. The bumper/buffer is from a 1000 though because the over riders are in the wrong place. On the Series MM/early Series 2, the bumper was narrower so the over riders didn't obscure the side lights.

The last photo is a standard Series MM short bonnet saloon which has had an earlier lowlight grille added. This is quite a common 'mod'

The maroon car is a 1952 Series MM saloon which according to my records has been converted. It should not have overriders as these were only fitted to the 4 door Series MM.
The front wings are replacements, the originals did not have the seams from the headlights to the bonnet

possibly the remains of a CKD put together in 51-52, or had its data incorrectly entered when we switched from paper to digital records, or has had its tags swapped

As POMMReg said, the VIN number reveals the series, engine type etc. On the 1098cc model it is located between the fuse box and the voltage regulator.

Classic Cars Pvt Ltd, Pinnaduwa Watta, near Galle Fort, Sri Lanka not only manufactures spares but organizes Morris owners' rallies once in a while. Mr Anton Kamp & other Morris owners will be able to help you should the VIN numbers be missing/damaged

Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
