Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi,

Recently uncovered photo evidence indicates I may not be the first in the family to be into cars after all. A great-great-uncle with what I believe is a Morris Oxford MO and a great-grandfather with something that looks pretty special to my eye. Can anybody identify it?

Photo 2 looks like a Riley 9 Lincock made approx between 1932 & 1934.

The plate from the Oxford is now on a Mazda mx5!

Thanks pgp001/Phil, mystery solved!

A 1.1 4cyl OHV engine... sounds familiar.

Lovely car reminds me of the Riley Kestrel

I think they were just slightly different bodies all using the same running gear.

Its certainly a Riley and I also think its a Lincock.

I wonder what they are worth nowadays such a lovely car

Lovely picture of the interior.

I could do with the lifting roof panels on my MGA Coupe.

Do you think they would accept a trade-in on my Traveller at £36,000?

Note the two brake adjusting knobs just behind the gear stick. Brakes both foot and handbrake could be adjusted on the move

Thanks for posting Phil worth every penny .I remember around 40 years ago I was given two cars one was a Lanchester Ld10 the other I cant remember but it had hydraulic jacks on all four corners any idea Phil ?.

The 1948 Wolseley owned by my father and in which I learnt to drive had hydraulic jacks fitted as standard.
Brilliant idea but the difficulty was getting them to retract once used.

Also known as the Jackall system.
Regards John.
