car clock

[craig12]

the previous owner of a morris I have bought (1953) has contacted me as he has some more parts , which he wants me to buy , in with the parts are two clocks , one is wind up and one is electric , both smiths , the electric one has a face the same colour as the speedo in my car , what is this clock worth as he wants me to make him an offer . they are the same size and they fir the glove box lid (so I am told)

Realistically around £80 each I would have thought as you have purchased the car off him

If he asked for an offer, start low, say £40, if the clock works. He'll then tell you what he wants!

Or tell you to P*** O**

The electric clock was an accessory which replaced the badge in the glove box lid of the Series MM/early SII. Worth having if it still works. A quartz replica was also produced until a few years ago

I have got a 52 mm series. When I bought the Smiths clock was not working. They are very rare in original condition and some people are asking stupid prices. eg one on ebay not working £300.00. if you can get one in original condition and working for under £100.00. then then I would buy it.
PS. After a carful removal, clean and lube mine is now working and keeping better time than our town hall clock.
