Low light on ebay

Post by LouiseM »

Just spotted this '51 low light on ebay. Looks like it might make a good project: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1951-MORRIS-M ... 3cdd7ebe69

I thought that the last RHD Low light was chassis number 62550, am I mistaken in this or not?
This car seems th have the chassis number SMM/80103.

I have 83389, but poss earlier for Cowley built cars.

SMM 62551 1st 4dr.

Does that make sense?!
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Reference books go by chassis numbers, take no allowances for
Cowley change points.

Found the answer myself it was from chassis number 83390 RHD and 81595 LHD that all cars went to highlight.

1st 4 door = 62551 1950. All 4 doors were highlights. Lowlight 2 door and tourers continued in production until 80000 + 1951

Thank you for clarifying that, that was the conclusion that I had come to.
