I have just remembered a clipper blue Morris that has been hiding at the back of my garage since 1989 covered in lightweight junk!
Can someone bring me up to speed on how early the shell is?
I know it has the plates that stop mud spraying behind the A panels, and pointy door handles !
The interior is complete and original and has lights in the rear pockets.
Were some of these shells lighter?...Come on guys help needed ...Oh and the engine is a later unit but I have a complete genuine 1959 unit under the bench if that is suitable??
