Morris Minor Owners Club

Apologies for taking forever to reply - I was whipped into hospital at the end of Sept and lost the plot on this for a time. Thanks so much for those useful drawings and I'm afraid there was still absolutely no sign of an axle number! In the end, I didn't need it as DVLA were happy with photos of th...

I've been looking for the axle number - I've been all over it and can't find the number for love or money! Any tips as to exactly where it is, how big it is etc? Should be above the osf axle casing seam about 4-5" from spring hoops - could someone do a pic please? Will be stamped haphazardly, ...

Have you tried Middx MVL archives? Yes I did, only to discover that driver and vehicle licensing was transferred to Greater London in 1965. My car left the works in 67. I did a search and found the London Metropolitan vehicle archive extends to a whole 0.36m (of shelf presumably) - so it's a dead e...

Have you checked the chassis number stamped into the bulkhead and the rear axle number? There are many hiccups on the factory ledgers, as well as dealers - inconsistences between chassis details ON the car and those recorded at the various MVL's archives - for example; 445556 instead of 444556 etc....

The other problem with Stewart and Ardern is that it was the sole London distributor for Morris cars. (Gordon Stewart was a friend of William Morris).

When DVLA was first set up, in the late 70's early 80's, many vehicle make/model mistakes were made in these early days when they had the mammoth task of transferring all vehicle details from old buff/green log books on to the computer. Other people on this site have commented on such mistakes. It ...

It's a long story, but in brief I've recently discovered that my convertible, bought 6 years ago as a replica, is in fact an original. I've obtained a heritage certificate for it (the engine has been changed but colour, body, NMP and chassis numbers all exactly correspond with the factory record) an...

When I acquired my 1000 convertible in 2010, I joined MMOC (memb no 68305) and registered on the website soon after and made one or two posts so I recall. My membership has been continuous since. Recently, after several months of not logging in, I decided to post an item asking if there is anyone ou...
