I'm a new member

[Mordice]

Hi everyone, I'm a new member , and I thought I would introduce myself. I've just taken delivery of a 1962 1000 saloon. It's a project, not for me, as I'm far too old and can just about change a wheel. The bodywork is virtually rust free, though I wish I could say the same about the underside! Why is it that so many of the colour shades are so similar. I can't decide whether the colour of mine is Dove Grey or Old English White, as they look so similar in the many pics i've viewed. I guess I'll have to wait for the Heritage certificate to arrive to find out.

And welcome from another 1962 Saloon owner.
My car was built/assembled in February '62. Everything is more or less original except for, prior to my ownership, the 948cc engine and gearbox were replaced by a 1098cc engine and "ribbed" gearbox.
It still had the 7" front brakes but I fitted the 8" versions.

Hello and welcome!
The colours are pretty distinct actually. Old English White is a slightly creamy off-white. But definitely a white which it will be recorded as on the V5.
Dove Grey is a sort of mushroom colour. Definitely not a white, and will be recorded as grey on the V5
Good luck with your new purchase!
Post a picture of it Have a look at The Potteries Morris Minor website and pictures of cars for sale.
