High time I posted a picture of our new Morris, bought as shown from a chap in Kent who has carried out a full rebuild. She will be used as a regular driver and will also be in the occasional show. First one today at the Fir and feather which proved very popular. Also my first go at posting a photo!

Looks great

Thanks Panky, it's got just enough little jobs to do to give me some tinker time without any nasty surprises I hope!

Nice looking car!

That looks very smart. Good luck with it - and check that some rustproofing has been done to protect it through the winter months

Very nice too, and unusual to see one with the correct 'steel silver' grille, nowadays. What year is the car?

I know the later Morris Minor 1000s left the factory with silver wheels, But a silver grille I have never heard of.

a silver grille I have never heard of

Austin Minors, perhaps?

Ah, you may be right there - according to this list, Travellers had either Old English White, Snowberry White, Police White or Glacier White grilles:

I'm sure I read in a Minor book that later Travellers had silver grilles to match the dark silver wheels, hence why I did mine in those colours during a recent refurb. Oh well, I like the look, so never mind, eh?

Nice looking car. The only thing I would perhaps add, is some red pinstripes on the bonnet/door flashes, to match the interior.

I need to add some to my 1970 Trafalgar Blue Traveller, which apparently should be Pearl Grey, according to the MMOC list above. I used to have gold ones on it, which I thought suited it better, as they more or less matched the wood colour.

I agree! I would like to get some put on at some point
