Do you have a copy of "Original Morris Minor"? This will tell you a lot of things that you did not know and a lot more things that you did not know you did not know

the one piece front panel was on mine when I got it in 1976 :( I was told it was rare by some one at the Harwood meeting a long time ago, but I was not a MMOC member in those days.may be the korean war had something to do with it, shortage of nickel etc?
