Morris Million One

Post by Vigil »

Hay Guys,

Here is a shot of the 01 cars serial number stamped in the metal in the engine compartment.
This is a left hand drive export in need of total restoration. Engine is period correct - not original.

The car is located over 1000 miles from me so it took some time to get a picture.
I hope this clears up any misconception that i was trying to rip some one off as was implied last year.
If any one is interested in more photos i have a few that are also in small format.
I have sent the other pictures to the Million registry so they may be posted there in the future.
This car is for sale and is located in the USA in Portland, Oregon - USA.

If interested in the car - contact me At the email below.

Vigil :lol:

The new owner sent me a picture of the car striped and ready for paint.
I just thought some one may be interested in hearing the car is being restored.

You have another shot -

Want to bid on a Million? Your chance is coming up in 2015.
I have it right from the horse's mouth that the first replica off the line 1000001 will be on the block.
Built to North American left hand drive specifications.
With stainless steel window frames and flashing indicators.
Only 21 were sent over the pond. And this one was built early.
Assumed to be ready for the New York auto show.
Found in San Francisco as a derelict it is now a restored award winning automobile.
Restored by Dave Adams who is no stranger to classic cars and its color could hoist the ladies bidding boards high.
Is lilac a chick magnet? It will be interesting to see what the car sells for at the auction.

The colour is awful and must be the worst colour ever to be put on a car

I think you'll find that it is 349 Cars.
Busy collecting parts for my '52 MM Convertible and 1949 Saloon restorations. :o
