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.

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. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

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....
Cheers _________________ Rosco |

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. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

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.
