Does anyone know where to get a chrome tailpipe for a Morris Minor? Thanks :o

Heres a straight one one ESM, curved ones seem a bit harder to find though sometimes appear on ebay

I got mine from the local motor spares shop. Just make sure the screw is done up tightly! :wink:

halfrauds sell them, but they are a few on flebay, especially if you search for austin 7, they are the nice fan shaped ones

I had one sitting on the garage shelf for ages. One day I picked it up and thought "That looks about Morris Minor size" I tried it and it was a perfect push fit onto the tail pipe of my Series MM. In fact I doubt if it would come off.

I'd suggest the curved version if you can find one, the national rally will bring some out and they help make the car a little quieter without stopping it "trumpeting"
