Hi Everyone

I have just bought a 1960 4dr Morris Minor. Is there any place where I can find out how this car was when it was made? Colour of various parts , lights, what exterior mirrors was used/available, what accesories was available eg. were wooden steering wheels anoptional or not, etc.? Thank you

Hi Rob
Thank you for the info. A lot of the info helps, but what makes it difficult is that the car was built in Durban,South Africa. The car needs a new petrol pipe and cap as this one's pipe was modified and has no cap and the steering wheel is almost non existance. To find parts locally is quite hard.

Also I strongly recommend you commence dialogue with Charles Ware's Morris Minor Centre in the UK. They know everything you would ever want to know about Morris Minors!!! I talked to John Knowles there on 0044 117 300 3753 and he dealt with my issues in no time at all. If he doesn't know the answer to your query, I am sure he will at least point you in the right direction. Another option for you would be for you to move from SA and go live in England!!!
