... I have a new allegiance. A few months ago a friend sent me a copy of an ad to sell a 1956 Morris Oxford, a car I owned and loved 50 years ago.[frame]Image[/frame]

Nice. So you're going to be selling the Minors?

Oops, I hit send too soon :-)
That was the car from 50 years ago. Here is the one I have just bought on the day that Millicent the '50 Tourer left for her new home in the US. Yvonne and I had a wonderful, sometimes exciting, time crossing five states and one of the great lakes with this car that has yet to be given a name.

PS - If anyone knows of a fuel tank that will fit I would be glad to get it.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

Perhaps the fuel tank from a Hindustan Ambassador?

Edited as I found a picture - is your tank similar?

Please be aware that the Hindustan Ambassador, which has provided taxis for India for all those years, ceased production a few weeks ago ('cos sales had dropped to a couple of thousand in the past year) so if you want NEW spares, do something about it NOW!
