Hi Lou, that is the true Maroon B colour is it?

yes

That looks excellent - well done! Polishing keeps you warm in this weather eh?

Did you get some overspray on that steering wheel, or is it a trick of the camera?

On my screen it looks like a marbled maroon!! I'm sure its not- but an interesting idea for a colour scheme!

You would kindly notice that the steering is a sacrificial series 5 wheel which is used on all my cars for this purpose... to collect overspray!!!

This is what i'll be using to drive Lucy around:

Wow marbled maroon colour scheme! I'll keep this wheel for a custom resto I'll be doing someday

Looking good Mark, wish I had the sort of space you seem to have, how many do you have in total.

Eight whole cars.... and in parts no one could ever know

However this number could go up any moment

Appeal: However I'm still missing a series II windscreen rubber chrome insert... any one with a spare?

Yeah, Aqua is fairly unusual. June 70 when production moved to the Morris Commercial factory at Adderley Park, Birmingham, to when production ended in April 71. Only know 'cos I just bought one and looked it up!
Incidentally, yours looks in better condition than mine and mines on the road and in daily use....

Is that a lowlight with 7" headlights? How interesting...

Posted: **Tue Nov 04, 2008 6:45 am**

yes unfortunately.... a convenient modification by the previous owner/s that will cost me a lot to remedy
