Is that a Morris Super or Cooper in the middle pic...?

Post by **Hipwell** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 4:55 pm

It’s a Cooper for sure, the van pic is great!

Disc brakes, grille and narrower bonnet badge mean it is a Cooper

It's got disks, so Cooper.

That photo on the harbour looks like an interesting event! The guy in the seven probably thought he had it in the bag until some bugger rocked up in a bobtail Cooper!

The Longbridge photos are bitter sweet. All those people working there, long hours churning out cars that were sold instantly. Imagine the noise of the place.

Now it's a housing estate to be, starter homes filled with Chinese made shit, foreign car on the drive and a World of Tat superstore up the road.

My daily hack back in 2003, I'd just arrived at work... it had the full union jack on the roof when I bought it but one of my workmates removed some of the vinyl one day while I was down at Bletchley shunting stone wagons...!
