Re: 1961 Four Door Saloon Project failure for spare parts

I'm afraid I am a bit of a luddite and don't do Facebook, but thanks for the suggestion. Good luck with the two you are doing. I should say that the photos I provided are only a small snapshot of the.problem. I have had two reputable organisations now saying that it isn't worth restoring anymore how...

You can see more detail in the other post in th...

Re: 1961 Four Door Saloon Project failure for spare parts

Any takers, then? I am happy to let it go at a 'rock bottom' price. It will need to be trailed from Cowfold, with all the bits attached to the trailer either inside or outside the car. The wheels are off - the front ones could go on easily but for the back the prop shaft, half shafts and back axle w...

1961 four door saloon restoration project failure

Hello all. We started a project on this car, however it is proving too much, so please look at this link in, sadly, the scrapyard section: https://board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=79406 The car is unfortunately to be scrapped, but I am keen to see any salvageable parts rescued and not wasted, if an...

Re: 1961 Four Door Saloon Project failure for spare parts

Its current state is up on stands, wheels, doors, seats, wings, prop shaft off, floor and cross member cut out. It is in Cowfold, West Sussex. I guess the wheels could be put back on and it loaded onto a trailer, along with all the other bits. Happy to provide more detail to anyone interested. We ha...

1961 Four Door Saloon Project failure for spare parts

Hello all. It is with sadness that my wife's Morris is, at least for us, unsalvageable. We took it in to have the floor replaced, and after stripping it and cutting out the rotten parts a great deal more rust, some of it in structural areas, was found, so much that to do a proper job almost all the ...
