vulgalour Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Spotted in the Customer Notices at the Wilkinsons store in Clowne, Derbyshire. Full telephone number available via PM if you so desire. What do we think, generic Moggy, MO, Oxford or something else entirely? Add your own if you've got 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooters Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Oxford I think the series 2 minor splitty wasn't out till late '53 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire_Dawson Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Oxford aye, I believe Mercrocker owns the Cowley which shared the same body but was the economy version. Nice cars, but not at that price for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Case Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Odd. Morris Oxford from 1948-1954 was the MO series, the one like a Minor on steroids. The series 2, and its el cheapo sibling the Cowley (sorry mercrocker ) didn't come out until about 1955. The Minor did gain an ohv engine in 1952, but remained the MM series until the Series 2 with wavy grille came about in about 1954. The mystery deepens, but that price looks a bit strong for any early 50s Morris that needs work. Edit: on checking the series 2 did come out with the early grille, but seems to have overlapped with the MM. So it does appear to be a Minor.

mercrocker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 No apologies needed - Love my one sunvisor and no chrome! I reckon its a Minor - they went Series II in 1952 (cheese cutter grille, high headlamps, 803 cc Austin lump) MMs finished with the sidevalve IIRC...Lotta money for a minor but nice history. Should be Empire, rather than Almond Green though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I reckon early SII Minor as well. Price a little steep, personally I'd get a nice original, scruffy one for less than half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 This made me grin. Advertising a car, what do you think a buyer would want to know. Fuel? Engine size? Mileage? Fuck it, I just want to know if the bumpers are coded. UmBongo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
