Dating 58023

Post by oliver-morrisminor »

A fellow I know is restoring a MM Sedan, I have not seen it yet.

I think he said the number was 58023, I looked up the Original MM Book and it puts it at about June / July 1950.

He said he thought it was a 1949 due to it NOT having the coach moulding around the rear of the roof pressing.

I can't find any referance to the date of manufacturing change regarding this coach moulding in the book

Can any body help?

Hi Oliver
The moulding was fitted from mid 1950 so 58023 is a 1950 car. It was for sale on ebay last year.
Could you ask the owner to forward his details please

Mine is registered July 1950 with a number just a few hundred prior to yours and it is moulding free.
