Can't remember if the red one was Morris or Austin....if Morris....probably built within months Graham.
I've picked up a couple of MkI shells in the past
How is that car coming?!
I've been going through some old stuff lately.....found a few early riveted wheels.  osted here but nobody wanted them ( might of only been one actually...lol )...probably for safety reasons.

I've come across a few MkI/II bits recently... more coming and will post here.

One thing is a headlight dip switch...surface rusty but smooth function.....anyone?

If it's not already claimed, I'd love to have that plate for my '62...

We can fix that ... just need a blowtorch and more peanut butter.

My good friend Trevor here in the UK tells me that

"... the Home delivery Export Scheme enabled people to buy a car here in the UK tax free on the condition it was exported within a time limit ( I think either 6 or 12 months ). The car would be registered on UK plates with a yellow band around the border.  I seem to remember a lot of guys in the Military doing it if they were being posted overseas.  Obviously most were LHD but it depended what was specified.

So Spitz, I guess your car was an LHD export to Canada.  Have you still got that liecence plate Spitz  ?

Interesting..... The plate came in the car ( can't remember if it was attached ), it is a Super Deluxe, left hand drive...no sign of it ever being RHD
