Mines 1962 and its not the auto type shown, it's a single stay in a clip you pull down and insert into location. I believe the one in picture is for later cars but I'm sure someone will know from what year.

Cheers bill,I thought it might be, I can’t find the long bar type.

The type in your photo (Standard fitment from late 1964) could be fitted to an earlier car but only with quite a bit of work making attachments.
I'd be surprised if you couldn't purchase the correct boot prop by telephoning a few Morris Minor specialists. Most have a good supply of secondhand parts

Cheers MM
I’ll keep a look out for original one.

If the bracket for pivot is still on your boot lid, you can but round mild steel bar from B&Q or fleebay and make one. Its easy to bend and not a complicated shape.

That’s a good ideal bill, I may even have something in my garage, I’ll have a look over the weekend.
