Lang,
The performance of the Morris surprises me, not so bad a choice after all. Those Ford E83W were still common in the early 60's and when I went to school, the meals were brought across from a nearby school kitchen by a local garage under contract. They had a open back Ford, and often a couple of extra people would be with it to push start it, always a scene of amusement!
