I am all of 37 years old so when I was a boy and at the racetrack watching the GP, HP and FP (G Production, F Production and H Production) SCCA (Sports Car ...

Re: New owner with some questions ~ 1000 Pickup

Simply Austin A40. It is a LHD. Interesting enough, I was told the owner purchased it in England and drove it over there.

Re: New owner with some questions ~ 1000 Pickup

Extremely Interesting!! I have never thought that the little black plate that is on many Austins and Morris' would ever have had those changed out!! Really nice to know.

New owner with some questions ~ 1000 Pickup

So our shop just purchased an appropriate parts runner, a Morris Minor 1000 pickup that needs Everything. Our goal is, no matter how ugly, this will be put back on the road as a survivor. Mechanically, the body is sound and everything is straight enough. There was a 1275cc motor and ribcase with the...
