Morris Minor Owners Club

hi all, i bought an old scrapper for parts, but a local member of the MMOC pointed out that it was built in Dublin by G A Brittain, the car is probably too far gone to save but i would still like to find out more about, does anyone have any information on Dublin built cars?

There's a reference to GA Brittain in a thread entitled "Minor Quest" posted 18th June 2011 by bpr81a in General Discussion. Someone enquiring about a SerII Black '55 4dr they used to own. It's not the one you have is it?

There are a couple of Series MMs ref. Britains

If you have a look on the Northern Ireland MMOC web site Stevey has written up a bit about Brittans cars. They built lots of BMC cars from CKD completely knocked down kits using local labour, glass and trim. They were usually fionished in slightly different colours as well. The glass will have a shamrock etched in the glass rather than the British Kite Mark.

Here's a link to the NI MMOC website:

The Irish MMOC might also be able to provide some info:
