Hi. Can you help?
I have just purchased a 1956 Morris Traveller without the splitscreen, was wondering what is the oldest non splitscreen in existences?
Many thanks

Body number will reveal how old it is.

According to 'Original Morris Minor' by MMOC club secretary Ray Newell (and I guess this info comes from the Heritage records at Gaydon, the 1000 was introduced in October 1956 and started at car no 448801. Have a look at the metal plate under the bonnet. It's on the bulkhead top left. It should read F(Morris Minor) L (Traveller) then depending upon the colour the letter should be between A and U. Check here for full details of the original colour
