Just thought i'd say HI

Post by wickermonkey »

Hello everyone, new on here and just wanted to say hello. I don't currently own a morris yet but im very much in the market for one. Currently in search ideally for a 2 door split screen but could be pushed into a 4 door if the price is right. Anyways while im here just though id ask a quick question about a morris oxford, mainly Are the front wings the same as the minor?


anyway hope to be a regular on here soon, been looking for a month or so now but have got to get rid of a car before i have space for another. Fingers crossed.

Although the Series MO Oxford looks like a scaled up Series MM Minor, closer inspection will show that every panel is a different design

I knew a lot of the panels were different, with it being wider and longer, but wasn't sure about the wings. I could see they were a different shape but was hoping they might have been interchangeable.

I like the MO, and would like one in time, but wonder how it'd perform six or even seven up. :o
