Morris Minor Owners Club

ok mike So it sounds like the best thing might be to get this tidied up but keeping to the current spec. I keep this engine as it has only done about 30k. Outside I think she looks great except perhaps I would need a wing mirror on both sides? The underneath I know is sound but I could get it checke...

anyway, if i get a number off the diff will that help me get a better valuation?

I have just looked for a receipt, the oldest one I have if for 1973 but the 1978 'engine' one is missing, the entire time though it was serviced by one garage in dewsbury. The old man owned it from 1954 (new) to 1989 when he died. It was then picked up by my grandad (pre auction) who owned it for 3 ...

LOL... whats IS a diff? and how do i find out what sort it is?

wow, but why loose all the chrome? I like shiney chrome.... also did I really read 21k for a new one?.. and that was in 1993!

Hmm Ok, please excuse my lack of knowledge but what is a gold seal? is that like a new engine from a stock room somewhere? Who would have made the engine that I have?

Also does this change the value of the car in any way?

Katie

OK, i found an old log book. The old guy left me some things... it seem that it's been round once so its done about 132000miles. On 14th March, 1978 I have: "New Engine 1100 Engine No 96162 FR 40828 AH Gear Box 977 800" I'm the second owner from new. So would this be a Frog Eye engine? Katie

Yes Dan, it looks exactly like that one!

On a big plate top left of the engine bay it reads

"Engine No - APHM/11869" which matches your document i.e. - APHM 803cc Morris Minor MM OHV engine, 8HP. ( first 'A' series.)

But on the plate near the first spark plug I have the ER number that I quoted.

Hmmm.. confusion!???

Katie

G162 ER40828
A H

Does this help?

Katie

This is probably a daft question, but I wondered if anyone ever made a serious effort of manufacturing new morris minors? I know I'm sellling mine soon but they are soooo cute!! I mean no other car is really as nice looking. Plus the fact that they seem to have so much more character than todays mod...

Ok boys!! I'm not a petrol head.

But here is a picture of the engine:

In addition it say on my V5C that it's an 800cc engine and the number is APHM/11869.

Does that tell you anything useful?

Katie

LOL Budgie!

...St Neots is near cambridge. Sort of go to cambridge and turn left for about 30 miles!

Katie

MOT was about 4 weeks ago.

My pictures are now visible I think

Thanks for your help

Hiya I just wanted to say hello and ask for some advice. I have a moggie minor in my garage that I have owned since 1991. I was left the car in a will and have little real knowledge about it. It's a 1953-54 split screen, in original battle ship grey, red leather interior with less than 30k on the cl...
