Morris Minor Owners Club

hi' everyone im matthew' ive just joined the club as ive bought a 1952/3 according to colin holwell'' morris minor split screen 2 door thats been part restored & abandoned years ago' unfortunately theres no vin or number plates! i have the chassis number 166417 & a small plaque on the top of the passenger bulkhead either 8m 76578 or bm 76578. woulg greatly appreciate any help finding its original reg plus i need loads of spares as its nearly a bare rolling shell, thanks matthew.

I had a look on the MM register just in case your chassis number was included on there with the reg number.
It's a shame, but it is not. 166413 is a 1952, and is the nearest to yours.

11/52ish body number wise.

Might be a cherished mark victim.

Contact BMIHT for dealer details.

thanks thats some good & bad' does that mean i may need some form of dating certificate from the morris minor club so i could register with an age related plate?

I'll try & upload some pictures' bear with me lol

The chassis number is stamped on the engine compartment bulkhead, see photo. The full chassis code is FBA 11/166417 if originally black [frame][/frame].
You can get a production Trace Certificate from BMIHT, Gaydon which will give you the build info for your car.
Please send me your contact details for the register

But will it give the Reg Number??

Unless you can find a photo or documentation with the registration plate you will have to settle for an age related plate

Yer I thought so" had this with a classic Honda b4 thanks for ur help people!
