Having a bit of fun here Tim. Hope you're not offended. I know you like the little Brit cars and you have that Morry from NZ, so here's a few that fit that mold?1040849016_1931Morris.jpg.04bf37c28e73b9a2bb16e73a72d7053e.jpg1931 Morris 1957489585_1931Austin.jpg.7759e052500a2f14a850adbb1e0c0980.jpg1931 Austin 1957489585_1931Austin.jpg.7759e052500a2f14a850adbb1e0c0980.jpg115115405_1928MorganAero.jpg.690e8bc652cc6b195b99611c9e47d67e.jpg1928 Morgan Aero - three wheeler1541527205_1929Austin7.jpg.2f6e2f85f5054595806cee768e572f3e.jpg1929 Austin 7

thanks for the pictures, looks to be a long line of cars.....I just got the news letter from Moss Motoring, surprised to see that I owned 4 of the models listed in the magazine this issue.  Good article on the MG1100 and the Panamanian Highway.  These little cars I know are not for everyone but with a little more exposure am sure many would feel right at home with one based solely on their simplicity.  I see that Morry peeking out from behind the Morgan...

Simple as it comes for an OHV-4.

 

I assembled a well scrubbed 1098cc in Mom’s kitchen, when I was 18.

It was a Midget dual carb though, and had a PCV device!

 

Also bored .060” over, but I never bothered to calculate the final displacement. It ate the transmission like a bulldog.  Big bites.
