Hi everyone,

I found this 8/40 1935 in Kiama NSW been stored for 30 years hope you guys can help with some questions I have. Hope the photos come up my computer skills aren't very good.

I have hood bows for the bloke that wanted them and happy to make patterns for him him. Have spare running boards and an aluminum carburettor extension of a later model.

Pictures here

Let me know if the pictures fail to upload,

All the best,

Barry

I used to enjoy small British cars, especially fabric topped ones. I wish you well with your project, I am sure that you will derive much pleasure from the restoration as well as the finished project.

Gidday Barry,

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have a Series 1 Dickie Seat Roadster, should come up a treat once you have finished the restoration.

The one pictured below was previously owned by one of our club members. I would be interested in the spare running boards if you want rid of them.... Cool



Cheers

Trimmer, a photo of my first Morris, a 1930 OHC Minor, photo taken in 1962.



A much more modern Morris, taken during an extended tour around parts of rural Victoria (Australia) in 1965.



And, yes, I am partial to the Viking breed nowadays.

Gidday Barry,

I sent a personal message about the running boards, maybe you haven't seen it yet. I've been after a pair of them for my Series 1 Tourer as mine are very rusted.

You can follow my progress here:

As you can see my time estimates are well blown out now. But I'm still poking along with it.

Cheers
