61 Morris Deluxe spec

[Luigi64]

Gents,

Currently in the process of buying a 61 deluxe. Could someone explain the 'spec' of this and in particular what grille I should have on it please?

Thank you,
Lewis

Will need to know if Austin or Morris.

You want the kind of grille of the link, as far a as the colour, I guess in 61 they began to fit the chrome one instead of the wite one, so it depends of the month of your car.

As has been advised, you need to know if Austin or Morris. If Morris, the grille was chrome on cars produced form June 1961. The age of the car is important as there was a number of subtle changes from mid 1961.

My apologies. Reading the thread but not the title.
Now, be more specific about the build date.

Hi guys,

She is a Morris first registered in November 61

So il let the photos do the talking

In that case, I guess it needs the grille of the link I provided in chrome. Not the best example so check this one out:
