Very complete. Engine turns over freely and gears engage freely.

Main job is a complete rework of the wood frame but all the bits are there for patterns.

Request for the Australians: I need 4 X 18 inch Morris wheels any leads gratefully received.

Mike, here is the data detail. Unfortunately the right side of the plate is gone.

Type 12/4
Car No. SY/TW 20??
Engine No. 70283

If anyone has any info at all about the 1500cc motor, vehicle performance etc it would be good as I am thinking about leaving the Dodge Carryall behind and using the Morris on the Istanbul to Normandy trip next year. They may as well have been never made as far as Australia is concerned - all my searching has only discovered one in Sydney. Plenty of Morris "Z" utes and vans but they were much smaller both in capacity and engine size.

Hi Lang, have a couple of pics of 17 1/2" rims that look similar. Having difficulty putting up pics. SMS me 0414645853 l'll send pics to you. If they are what you want, I'll ask my friend if he will part with them. Cheers Tim
