Morris Minor Owners Club

Many of us have spent hours (and cash!) getting MMs motoring again.
So, mixed feelings when I saw EFE 53 pinned to the wall of the Science Museum like a stag's head trophy.
Better than rusting unseen and unloved in a ditch somewhere I suppose.
But it's a real pity you can't get close to see the interior, engine etc.
Better still if you could see a working model.
It is the Science Museum after all...
Views?
(Hope you can see the picture?)[frame][/frame]

Well i suppose its better than the crusher, which museum was this??

Its in the science museum london Personally i think its good for it to be there. Its a way of 'advertising' as it were. And it is safe and sound there for the moment at least There are far more hidden away, its on show.

Yup, London Sci Mus.
This is as close as I could get - with zoomed lens.
(Picture attached, I hope!)
Rumour has it there a 'Wall of Cars' in the new Riverside Museum in Glasgow...
... any MMs?[frame][/frame]

No chance of getting the chassis no?

Chassis number Mike? Well, possibly.
I have a two pronged approach ...
I have joined the senior citizen's local abseiling class
I have emailed the Science Museum...

Three cheers for the Science Museum who have replied:

"...Morris Minor MM series car, 1950. Chassis no. SMM 46032, engine no. 41550. Registration no. EFE 53 (Inventory number 1979-371). This object is currently on display within the Museum’s Making the Modern World Gallery... I have reviewed Museum archival records and can confirm that this object was acquired in 1979 from Nattriss Garages (Mapperley) Ltd. From the corresponding technical file (T/1979-371) and nominal file (1005/22/28) I can also confirm that the car was built in 1950 and had two previous owners. "

Brian.

Great that they were so forthcoming with the history, as so well documented. Also woooo its from very near me in nottingham

Great! Many thanks, another Series MM added to the list.

From the way it's mounted to the wall it doesn't look harmed - just "displayed"
