Morris Minor Owners Club

Has anyone been bonkers enough to attempt making sense of these?

Have managed to do 1953-1959 and 1964 onwards....BUT am at a loss with the ones in between...(sigh!)

(x 12345 (xBMB ???x) P????? x) = Series 2 Engineers
(x 12345 P????? (x BMC ???? x) = " Mailvan

this is where it gets confusing....(Huh?!)

Seemingly a new system was introduced after this.....(Fallen asleep yet?)

(x ENG ???? x) = Series 3 Engineers
(x M ???? x) = Mailvan

In 1962(ish) the numbering was mixed together.....(wake up you!!!,pay attention!!!)

(x Z12345-6 P?????? x)

1968(ish)

ALL subsiquent GPO/PO vans..... (yeah yeah...you're snoring was fake!)

(x Z37923-4 3???? x)

Anyone bonkers enough to help with this painfully mind blowing subject PLEASE contact me!!!

Welcome to the messageboard! If you haven't already contacted him, Russ Harvey from the Minor LCV Register is probably the best person to help you with this. E-mail: russ@minorlcvreg dot co dot uk

Have tried all LCV contacts.....no joy!!!!!

Indeed the 'Experts' at MMOC themselves told me I was wasting my time.....needless to say I ignored them and the result is in the forthcoming book.

This mindnumbing book also contains all known GPO/PO Minor registration numbers...53000(ish), as well as chassis, engine + body(pre'63) numbers - totally boring for the vast majority of Minor enthusiasts BUT certainly worthwhile in my eyes!

Thanks for the message.....

Let us know when the book is around please.

Unless you're seriously interested in the number crunching aspect of LCV's it won't be much of a read....

what's the cab number of your motor....(x Z35127-34 2????? x) if it's a '70 civvy...

I haven't seen the cab numbers on my lcvs, regarding the book--- thought I'd show some support

Here's my cab number.....

Thanks

1960ish?

I have very few early Civvy vans' cab numbers....

(x Z = cab code C cab number x)

Obviously the "C" prefix of the number denotes it as "Civilian" whilst GPO vans have a "P" prefix!!

Series 2's have (x Z?????? C ????? (x BMA ???? x)

Any chance of the chassis number?

(somewhere around OEH1/ 105000 at a guess?)

Probably totally wrong, contempory GPO vans are easy to date whilst civvies are a blinkin' nightmare - again, I don't have many Series 3 chassis/cab number combinations to juggle with.....so that's my excuse!!!

Chris Stevens

I raise my hat to you Sir. Good luck with the book.

Thanks!!

Just stuck on a few points, hate to bung it out when I'm not 100% sure of things....my only fear!!!

Started it in the late 80s!!

The Cheltonian POMM geezer!!

only 1700 ish out

Phew!

Cab number is located high on the n/s bulkhead of the engine bay...level with the cab/ bonnet rubber seal...

narrow strip of metal affixed by self tappers....

same number is repeated on the 'NMP' plate on the N/s engine bay floor under the bumper iron - but this is usually rusted!

will need this number along with the vehicles' chassis number

If we're ever going to make progress with this I need enthusiasts support!!
