Did the morris 1100S come out with a 1098. Here's the engine number 10YTAH59368. This is a genuine 1100S car.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Hi Matt,

Got me beat. It's a genuine 50K car with original motor and the above engine number.

Check the body numbers, a 1100s manual should be YMGS2 & an auto YMGS5 if not it is not a S. I will have one for sale soon if anyone is interested complete with a good 1275.

Thanks

I'll check out the body numbers.

I am just reading a Test that was published in Modern Motor - November 1967.

"The big engined 1100 -- called 1100S -- uses the robust, potential-packed 1275 cc. "S" motor, detuned from Cooper form (75 bhp at 5,800) to produce 63 bhp at 5,500 rpm and 70 lb. ft. of torque at 2,500rpm."

Body number should begin with YMGS2 and engine number starts with 12YDTaH for a Manual and 12YDAH for an Auto ,have a look at Morris 1100 website below

Early 1100S automatic was a 12H/119/H block. I have one here I've just converted to manual.

Now seen it with my own eyes. Definitely not an 1100S the owner got it confused with his other 1100S COUPE he imported from the UK. Couldn't get a good look at it it was buried under the rest of his collectable things.

PS Interesting fellow, ex-HWP, worked Newcastle, Yass and Goulburn has a picture of him driving a Clubman panal van with the Police sign on the roof. Also has a yellow Clubby S (not a GT)in his shed, which was used by him on highway duties as a bit of a covert car. When it came to the end of its service, old mate bought it from the police auction and has had it ever since. It's a shame he didn't look after it. Lots of bits missing and it hasn't weathered well.
