Member Comments on this Registry: 1962 Morris Minor ↵
I am in the build-up of a total restoration of a 1970 Van and with total I mean nut and bold. Like I did with the just finished 1964 Traveller. But I am absolutely struck by your Cecil and particularly the ‘nose job’. The rest of the modifications are over my head.
1) Do you mind if I do the same to my Van?
I have just acquired a 1948 MM series front grill and surround from India. And need a bit of advice from you.
2) Have you also applied a 1948 grille or did you modify something else? Because the extra headlamps look a bit smaller than the 100 series 7 inch head lights.
3) Is the front (bumper) valance from the 1000 series? Where did you get that front spoiler from? Is it one part with the bumper valance?
4) Do you have restoration pics of this front area of Cecil? For instance of the engine bay with cut-outs which give me some insight?
I ask a lot of you but maybe you will help me.

1. No I dont mind at all.
2. I have used a 1949 lowlight grill panel but used mesh on the actual frill section. The lights that are mounted in the grill are 146mm or 5 3/4" headlights which are the same as what was used originally.
3. The spoiler and valance are one piece and made from fibreglass. A couple of people over here in Australia. I can give you their number but postage may be a bit excessive as it is quite long.
4. I dont really have any pics from that area however if you were to have a look at a early Morris Minor with the same grill as your using you should be able to take a few measurements and photos from there.
I will always try to help as much as I can
Would be good to see some pictures of your project when you can

Thanks for your reply. I have some questions about Point 2.
1) You wrote; I have used a 1949 lowlight grill panel but used mesh on the actual frill section. Now that frill section is very important, ‘cause mine is in very sorry state (See photo) Is that frill section still lingering in your garage?
2) You wrote; The lights that are mounted in the grill are 146mm or 5 3/4" headlights which are the same as what was used originally. I measured the hole in my front (bought in India) and they are for 7 inch headlights (See photo) Now, isn’t that curious? Are you aware of different fronts?
3) On the same photo you can see 2 ‘drain holes’ marked with 2 black arrows. Here in The Netherlands no one knows what they are for. There is one ‘expert’ who claims it has something to do with CKD cars which were for escaping import taxes transported to the many dominions Britain possessed in those days. Any ideas?
4) Was mounting this front relatively straightforward? As work I see
A) Cutting a p
A) Cutting a part out of the inner screen.
C) Connecting the extra 7 inch head lamps via a relay to a dashboard switch.
D) And Bob’s your uncle
That’s is all for the moment I’m attaching pics of my just finished Traveller restoration because there is still nothing to see of the Van I’m working on currently. For the simple reason that I am only concentrating on overhauling en refurbishing parts like front & rear suspension, steering column, horns, starter motor and so on, and so on.
5) Araluen Blue Is no Moggy colour but…….?
