If it’s at the same place as HOY was I hope it’s in a better shed! Not that you couldn’t fettle it either way….

What colour is it, out of interest?

I’m not holding out hope Norman but I do have first refusal if he ever decides to sell it

Steve, it is in a drier shed than HOY was but god only knows what it’s really like as can only see a small part of it.

It’s OEW/Black … not sure if Austin or Morris

If you add up the Austin and Morris cars (taxed and SORN’d) in the right engine CC range on How many left you come up with 186, no idea how accurate that is

Hope to present my 1071 Cooper S this year…

Don't forget the export cars....we had quite a few over on this side of the pond...also, Scandinavia.
My R/B 1071 has been in my ownership since 1971....all original as it hasn't been on the road since then.

They were throwaway cars in the seventies. Around 1974 ish my Dad fitted an MG1300 engine and gearbox into one belonging to a fellow Yeovil Car Club member. It had already been painted bright yellowy orange (a Fiat colour apparently) with a blue roof and Mark II lights/grille. The 1071 engine was acquired by knocking 30 quid off the bill.

The car would probably have been stripped of goodies and weighed in at the nearest metal yard 3-4 years later at most. There was no desire to save them and they only started to become valuable in the mid eighties, ten years after most were chopped up.

Need to get on with my 1963 surf blue Morris

1071 s

I've still a longish list of bits to find, but slowly slowly catch a monkey - but I can guarantee it won't be in its anniversary year

So is mine. Worked it hard for what I paid for it. Sticker price £325, £100 cash with a part exchange.

My favourite Mk1 colour, nice.

Despite it not being for sale you’ll probably have it bought and finished before mine makes an appearance!
