Although I have only been using this forum for a week or so I have been amazed with the responses to the questions I have asked.

]However my very serious one is that I am looking for a four seater Bullnose Morris and would be grateful if anyone hears of one for sale.

I have lots of backup from the Bullnose Morris Club whose members will offer plenty of advice on a purchase.Mind you I have three in the dining room the only problem they are Dinky models!!!

I'm busy reading a 1925 book "Motoring for Women" by John Prioleau which tells me how to set up the tool and spares box I will need and says

"It is an excellent thing to be able to decarbonise your own engine in three or four hours work but it is a job that requires the greatest possible care" it then goes on to say " if you plan to travel abroad choose a car that has detachable head".

I was once offered the same advice about a woman.

Hi Pat,

If you haven't got a copy already the "The Bullnose Morris" is well worth having, especially prior to buying.

Hi Pat,
You may already be aware of these, but Thornfalcon Classics in Taunton has a four-wheel braked Bullnose 4-seater - nice but very pricey at £18,000, and Grundy Mack in Malton (North Yorks) has a 2-wheel braked 4-seater at £13,000, if you can live with bright yellow bodywork Laughing

Happy hunting,
Mike

Here's a link to that one, it looks as if it's only a 2-seater but sometimes they had an extra seat that folded out of the boot Shocked
