Oh my god ?
how could anybody do this to 3 bx's ? I know it's a memorial but couldn't they have done it to a "ford"?

Cheese burger ? looks like a pile of junk thought up by some over privileged rich kid.

I went down to collect my Uncle's old split-screen Morris Thousand after he died, and my cousin had taken it to use as a chicken coop. I certainly spat feathers!!

Probably not a 1000 then.

It was still just a Minor when the screens were split.

Do you remember the Million model? I wonder who was the colour blind tosser who chose that yucky lilac colour for this celebratory edition?

Headlamps were moved from the radiator grille (lowlight) to the wings in '52 and the split screen was replaced with the single curved glass screen in '57. 1947 - 1950 models had the 918cc side valve engine designed in the 1930s - not sure when the OHV was introduced.

Originally designed by Issigonis as a direct competitor to the beetle, his design called for a flat 4 engine but this would be a new design and he was overridden and the engine from the original sit-up-and-beg Morris Minor was used because it was immediately available.

That's why there's lots of space in the engine bay - enough to get your legs either side of the engine while sitting on the radiator - perfect position for re-grinding the valves - good in Winter too because you're under the bonnet and you only get a little bit of snow on your back
