Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi I need to get a new battery for my morris. I am thinking about get one of the older style originals. I believe they were a rubber type. Would anyone know where to buy and price please?

Many thanks

Philip Palmer

The type number is 038.
I recently bought one made by exide, it wasnt the rubber type but still looks fine and it was under £35 with a 3 year guarentee.

There is a place that makes the original rubber type, somewhere on the south coast but i can't remember name or town - sorry!
If you want the original type it's going to be more expensive but not impossible.

Philip, Is this what you are looking for?

I'm not surprised they are expensive. The production runs must be very small.

I suppose for a concours car it might be worth it .............?

All you need is a black battery - other colours look wrong IMO.

Thanks for the advice.

I cheated (what a suprise!) and printed an old battery label from a stock photo and laminated it. Then stuck it on the new battery.

If it works. Why not.

Thanks for all the help.
