My first car was a 1952 Morris Minor series M M 2 door "saloon" This was the first of the High Lights & the last of the side valves. It was the most gutless P.O.S. i have ever owned, but hey, anything that you ever wanted in a car...... it didn't have it. No power, no synchro [any more] no comfort, no heat or demist, no style [untill i fitted Falcon 13" four stud wheels] No nothing. I had a convertible [tourer?] for spares, but it was a bit rusty, so we cut it up & dumped it.

My experiences with this car are so memorable that i swore that i would never own another pommy car in my life. I never have.

Now if you're really into these pommy substitutes for an automobile, & i guess that somebody's gotta love them, then the best thing you can do is to fit it up with a Datsun powertrain. I believe that engine swap kits are available & of course we know just how much a little A series Datsun can be developed to turn a limp banana car into something that goes well.
More power to the Morris,........... Datsun power!
