Looks like a good project, you should start a restoration thread for it. Have you registered its chassis number yet to see if its one that been known about before?


Too many Minors so little time.....

it is first registered on 14-07-1954 reg# 216 ano
it came from the first owner a mr.campbell from hemel hempstead...so probably very unique..any other information welcome especially if there is any older ones that had one owner only..........of course I am going to restore it to a as near as possible perfect close to original...

I think the answer is 14(?)

BUT whether or not a question was asked originally,I cannot remember

Are there any 6/56 4drs at Kelmarsh?
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

I'm STILL sticking to 14, Ford Prefect's body number was 252638!

If you try www.whoreallycares.gov.uk the answer IS 14!!

By the by, I have THREE solid Morris Minor's, free to collector.

why am I writing this tripe?

I've had a look and I got it wrong:

The 'Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42'. :P

It's okay though as they're taking me back to the asylum today............

I bet you'll get allot of response to your offer of free Morris Minors POMMReg, especially after a certain other post on here......

Time to get back to the real topic here: the question inquiring how may split screen Travellers survive??

In the days when I kept the S11 Traveller Register there were around 20 Cheesegraters ( 5 of which were in Norfolk) and about 200 in total. Given some will have been scrapped since then and I know quite a number of previously unrecorded ones have appeared including 2 1953 ones there probably still is around 200.
As regards the Deluxe question the traveller was produced in Standard and Deluxe spec from the start. I think deluxe ones had heater, two sunvisors, overriders and internal side trim as extra to the standard spec.
