Yea of little faith..... This a NZ car - so Austin quite possible and even probable (and if I remember even some Aussie Morris were rebadged Austin for that market (or was that one of those myths ?)) It has the "can opener" drain holes on the gutters - so english style body..... The BMH Certificate is happy to confirm as Austin as well.... and 1966 Rego papers too.... .. or have I missed something obvious ??? 
EDIT: No engine fan ..... Quote: This was raced in the 80s in the 0-1000 class
My race car didn't have an engin efan when I bought it... |

So its an English import that at some time had a Morris badge fitted that has been swapped back to the correct one for resale .. Its obviously been repainted and retrimmed as well - not unreasonable if it was a racer at some stage.. Big deal. Pending a proper inspection that confirms it is what is said...its a steal... Cheers, Ian |

If your selling a car you should at least have consistancy |

I love that colour and trim combination. I tell you something else that is odd though. The seller says it has a 1000cc engine in the description. Yet the head on the engine in the car is clearly a big bore head. So it's either a small-bore block with a big bore head on it, or it's a 1275 and they lied to the officials. Or just possibly a 970 block which would be very cool indeed. Cheers, |

While you are right Brett and it would be good to have consistency, a closer look shows that there is. There is clearly 2 sets of photos mixed in together, the older set would be those inside with the wipers half way u the screen showing morris badges front and rear as well as no tacho. The later set has the car outside with the wipers in a parked position, featuring Austin badges and a tacho. A question to the seller would confirm these observations. bnicho wrote: Yet the head on the engine in the car is clearly a big bore head. , I also noticed this and it is another point that a question should clear up.

Steve I would go there if I was serious about owning it. But alas, I am not.

No Servo, regulator in the wrong place, solenoid bracket standard one. Lots of things not quite right but it may well have been an S once. Al |
