Sectioned Morris Minor

Post by **Judge** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 10:01 pm

I went to a small classic car show today and happened to meet an old Cowley apprentice. As you can imagine we talked for ages about the old Cowley plant, and about the people we remembered from our time there. It really was a very interesting chat.

Anyway to cut a long story short, it turned out that in 1953 he had worked on the sectioning of a Morris Minor for show use, and still had a photograph of this. So just in case you have not seen it, I thought I would post a copy here.

Can't really see it - it has 'Copyright protected ' plastered all over!

Come on - are we really going to rip you off with it!! Publish it up front!

That was part of the process BMC

A bigger version (if there is one) would be nice if it has to have red all over it!

Sorry, I did try to put it where it didn't obscure too much

When I expand it in 'Picture Manager' - it just goes out of focus. Useless really!

oh yes I remember seeing this snap before! Would be a good attraction if your could find a really rotten minor on one side.

IMO it's most of us owners that need sectioning

I think we had a caption competition a year or so ago with a picture of two well dressed 1950 ladies looking at a sectioned car. I've searched but can't find it.

Does antone else remember?

When I get a moment I shall post a picture of the apprentices actually working on the car in my picture.

Never mind the Minor and the Marina (Ital), look at the carpet!
