Bull Motif or ESM stock them under "semaphore" lens.

Your trafficator lenses will be the same as the Series II. Whilst you are there check the bulbs. Remember to switch the trafficators off before getting out of the car and then breaking them. Done that a few times.

Thank YOU for saving a Morris Minor so far from it's birthplace!

Excellent - let's see more pictures - and perhaps a history of the car ?

The car, SMM 72587 is the earliest 4 door on my register, unless anyone knows of another with a lower chassis no.
The 1st 4 door was SMM 62551.

How did it get to Penang?

80% of early MMs were exported to the far flung reaches of the empire and also to the USA in the fond belief that this was the ideal car for them. By 1952 there was more of a balance between home and export cars.

Appears to be rhd -is that correct for Penang?

I believe so. Where the Empire goes so does right hand drive.
Ok so its the Commonwealth now.
