Aah, yes. I have a chromed one....

Does that one have high cut rears? I'm not sure when they were phased out off the top of my head

Yes - I think all Series IIs had them.<br>

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't! Must have been replaced at some point.

As of about 10 minutes ago, I Now have my welder back, so will be able to start to make some inroads into the car in the near future!!

OI! you can't make a brake light in that badge, that's my idea! oh okay, i understand, it is pretty damn cool!

Post by **d_harris** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 6:29 pm

Well, yes it is your idea. Its just that I am going to refine it somewhat.....

Post by **callyspoy** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 6:31 pm

OH! well fine! I am almost certain you will be able to make a better looking version! the inside of mine is a right hash up! remember though...an A35 sidelight lens and chrome ring fit on perfectly!

Post by **d_harris** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 6:33 pm

I know yours is a hash up, I've seen it

And hence the comment...

Its all in jest anyway

the rear axle is also from my traveller as are the front brakes.

Aah, thought that might have been the case. Didn't want to say incase it was wrong! I don't seem to be able to escape Adderly park bits...

-I'm really chuffed with the car BTW - Thanks!

the brake light in boot badge idea is far from new folks.... ;-)

Dan, I think appearance wise you have the correct diff fitted. The early series II, like mine has the Morris diff which is more square in the centre.

trouble is dan i think you might have more claim to the traveller number plate than i do!

Post by **mmjosh** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 9:21 pm

Car Number: F=Morris Minor, A=Four Door Saloon, D=Blue, 2=Right Hand Drive export,Paint = Synthetic

Thank you VERY VERY much for that Josh! That might help to explain why it was registered in 57!

I knew the code meant something, just not how to decode it! Any idea what blue it would have been anyone?

Hi Dan, I can only see Smoke Blue.....

Smoke Blue Oct 54 to Feb 55 with Maroon interior.

My reference is this page:

Good page that. Used it many a time.

Maroon interior certainly ties up though!

I now have another quandry then....

Does anyone have any pics of a smoke blue car??

Post by **nigelr2000** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 10:08 pm

Yes my other basket case moggy is allegedly smoke blue according to the can of paint with drips down the side that match the bodywork that I found in the boot so here is a pic looks grey to me <br>

Thanks for that. I'll have to have a think. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to respray anyway but I kinda prefer the white....

Benny is smoke grey too.....
