Hi,

A colleague is doing up a Morris 1100 S. It needs a number of rust repair panels eg: sills, rubbers and other 1100 specific parts. Anyone know of some good sources?

Cheers,

Tell him to ditch that stupid 1275cc engine...

and give it to you to look after...he has an 1100 :!:

so it should have an 1100cc engine :idea:

right

www.elevenhundred.com is a good source for 1100 owners

He wants to reverse the trend of plundering 1100S for the engine. I kind-of get his point.

It's only new stuff we are after, he already has a parts car.

Rare Spares and Scotts Old Auto Rubber have most of the rubbers.
I don't know about replacement panels, maybe Mini Clinic (or whatever they are called now) at Revesby would know. Sills and things are available in England.

I have a small stash of parts, what do you need?

Hey, we've all done it. But I would like to see a few of these survive.

I bought an 1100S once, sight unseen, that was way too good to wreck. So I swapped it for a Moke, and the 1100S is now back on the road.

The most pressing need right now is for two new sills and some floor sections. He'd also like an MG/Riley type dash with round smiths gauges. I know that will be hard to find!!

I have been thinking lately if an 1100 would not be the ultimate sleeper with something potent in it. I won't be doing it, but it would be a real buzz I reckon. They were a really nice comfortable car to ride in, far more civilised than a mini.

I have a complete Morris 1100 parked in My Paddock it has some good panels on it but it is in Brizzy. Anything off that is free to a good home if you come and remove it yourself.

I just had a thought :idea:

Maybe NZ has body parts? Ask Minicranks, he might know.
There was a bloke selling a sill on ebay a while ago, he is still trying to sell it on his website http://www.abouttimespares.com.au/Austin%201100%201300%201500.html

For the dash, take a look at Trademe NZ.
The late Morris/Austin 1300 has the dash he is after. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/index.htm He might find one over there.

Yep, plenty of room for a Starlet engine I reckon, and the shells cost pennies minus engine, and they only weigh 800kg(?). I miss the ride of my 1100S.

Thanks for all the help guys, I am passing on the links. Keep the ideas coming!

Maybe I can convince Gary to join the forum! :wink:

good to see the 1100S aren't always being pillaged for thier engines

I reckon they are a great car. As far as parts goes I have talked to Classic motoring here in Canberra and they can get 2nd hand bits but like you have it is probably easier and cheaper to find a parts car. :wink:

I now have my 2nd 1100S and this ones got a motor :twisted:
