when did Morris swap, if in fact they did

Post by davidmiles »

What year did the factory made cars get built with negative earth, if in fact they did swap from positive earth at all. Or were all Morris minors of all marks and models always made with positive earth right to the end ?

My 1969 Traveller was +ve earth, as was, originally, my 1970 4-door saloon, so I expect they were all +ve earth till the last model.
