Morris Minor Owners Club

Bloke here to look at the car at the moment and suggesting that original convertibles did not have sun visors where as mine has.

Any ideas??

Quick answer needed.

I mean any original convertibles not just low lights

I've had a look through Ray Newell's book "Original Morris Minor" and although the early convertibles did not have sun visors the photo's of the later convertibles (from 1956 onwards) all show the cars with sun visors.

I've just done the same with the 60 Years on the Road and Official Photo Album and cannot find trace of them on the earlier models.

My 1964 doesn't have them.

Just noticed that muggwump's car is a '65 so should have sun visors as standard. Is the viewer perhaps trying to suggest that the car is not an original convertible?

Thanks a lot guys, I think this guy knows a bit about Minors but as they say 'a little knowlegde can be a dangerous thing'. I looked at the Bull Motif production changes list and from 1964 onwards they had crushable visors as standard.

Well mine certainly doesn't, and never has had, and yes it's a genuine convertible.

Hi Judge, the crushable sunvisors were introduced as standard in '64 so maybe yours is just pre this change.

The viewer was trying to suggest that the car wasn't an original convertible. Now I'm not sure either way and this has been discussed on here by me and others at length, I was as honest as I could be and let him make his own mind up based on what he saw infront of him.
Anyway he bought the car so now I am minus a Minor. Very sorry to se her go.

Series III convetibles did not have sun visors. Of course any owner could easily add one, just need to put in two holes.
