Morris Minor Owners Club

Just TWO LCV chassis change points to figure out.

Start point for BL Colour range - last van with "sandy beige" body interior
Start point for Nylon grill surround nuts.

If anyone is able to narrow this down - between 2/68 and 5/69.

Adderley Park Travellers;

First Steering lock/ign & black engine.

Thanks

The book 'Morris Minor' by Paul Skilleter lists the last-of-the-line 1971 Travellers as chassis numbers 1290813 to 1294082, the last Traveller built in April 1971.

I think it was only the last year of production that got the steering column ignition switch.

Thanks Chipper

I've worked out likewise for the Civvy & PO LCVs, bit sad
not knowing the change for Travellers.

This is why I note chassis,body & engine numbers because at least ONE number on a major
change point will begin "xx001".

I'm surprised how you manage Chris, without every Minor book going, they would surly be a boon when undertaking your extensive data project! Especially as a cross reference. Another useful book is ' the original morris minor' by Ray Newell, that has some interesting reading, along with change points, crops up on ebay now and then.

Original Morris Minor is on its 2nd edition and should be available from club regalia

Ray kindly gave me a free copy when I helped him with the GPO/PO stuff.

Give this subject a "bump" as I'd like to list the steering lock & black painted engine
change point for Adderley Park Traveller's!

If owners would pm chassis,body & engine numbers of "F" Travellers - stating
whether it has a steering lock/green or black engine - greatly appreciated.

Hopefully another mystery may be solved(?)

Bemused why the LCV Register refuses to help - odd to say the least(?)

Join it and work together!!!

Looking forward to you joining Chris!

Getting there slowly.....

All pioneering stuff this you know...

If you own a Adderley Park Traveller would you pm its' details;

Plus, whether it has a GREEN or BLACK engine, Neiman steering lock or the traditional
Union Ign.

Thanks

All I know about this bloke is his thoughts on animals-------they should be given equal regard as the human type. Nice to know there are/were, people prepared to accept they haven't got the monopoly on the right to exist. -----Ok everyone back to chassis numbers!

I second that.Most animals are far nicer than most people!

Just the Traveller Adderley Pk chassis change points to figure out now - so all those
of you with one, PLEASE send in details [don't need regn nos.]

Thanks

One final bump.....

PM sent.

1257425 quoted as last Cowley built Traveller

However, prior to the "F" chassis suffix, Adderley Park used "J", the old BMC factory code - "J/M" prefix
on early AddPk LCVs - so was 1257425/6 an exact factory change OR were there Traveller's built at
Cowley with chassis numbers HIGHER than 1257425?

Reference books seem a bit vague on AddPk Minor's.

Wouldn't a time machine be handy in these circumstances.
