Alas, none of those Kiwi cars are in the system. Could still exist rotting away somewhere.

Morrises with Austin badges fitted - still with the Morris badge holes!

It may just be the photography but that car seems to have an extraordinary amount of negative camber at the front

[Peter Laidler]

Just the usual Cowley factory tolerances I'd say.....

[Polarsilver]

Also neg at the rear ?

[Old English White]

Yes, I agree. There certainly looks to be something odd about the stance but I don't know what. The car is rather a bitza I think with the odd badging etc. It looks as if the front indicators are working as sidelights and there is some sort of bracket or something beneath the grille. I also noticed that it doesn't have any bumper corner bars which would have been standard on any Cooper. It's probably a bit of a test "mule" isn't it?

[kit of bits]

Are they flat indicators/ side lights, could it be a works lamp bar bracket below the grill?
I agree about the camber front and rear..

It’s an early smoke grey Morris 997 road test/PR car. It is wearing Austin badges and also had a right hand tank. It did 24 hours at Monthelry in France four up.
