Morris Minor Owners Club

Sticker "I've got a tiger in my tank"

When the cars were supplied new BMC provided owners with this little booklet of "Approved Accessories" to tempt you [frame][/frame]

Inside it: A roofrack, small tool kit, foot pump and tyre pressure gauge, various extra lights........[frame][/frame]

.....a badge bar, switch panel, wheel discs, seat covers seat belts......[frame][/frame]

Even that anti-mist panel refered to earlier......[frame][/frame]

A few prices to tease you - from 1965 - if they can be read.[frame][/frame]

Accessories? Issigonis would spin!

u don't supine anyone has a picture of them on car as I can't seem to find one

Not really an accessory, but mine came with this one. I could not find anything about Philpott's on the internet, but they must have been there in May 1965 (assuming this the original glove compartment lid) [frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Found them![frame][/frame]

Fantastic! A real art-deco garage
I wonder how long the company (and the building) survived there?

Haha that is pretty awesome surely not UK though haha

I agree it doesn't look much of an English scene but that IS Philpotts Garage in Ramsgate. It was built in 1936. The company are not listed as being a Morris or BMC dealer however and their main business was motorcycles and scooters it seems. Maybe the Morris was sold secondhand by them? Or maybe somebody just liked the badge?

It's a very classy badge!

I was thinking more of a plastic version of These that were popular in the 60's, I once owned a '64 A40 Farina that had a 2 "winged" version of these on the hubcaps

Or these:
