Rick W Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hello all, the name is Rick or Richard Whyte, whatevers easier! Just plunged into the world of HMV's after looking at getting one for what seems years! My better half didnt ever think I would get one, I shall never forget the look on her face when she saw it! I have liberated a Morris C8/GS 1944 from a barn in Oxfordshire. Chassis is sound but the cab is as rotten as a pear. Luckily I own and run a garage which does mechanical repairs, so progress is fairly swift at the moment. Stripping it all down for a rebuild and hope to get it on the road by Spring. If anyone knows of a supplier for tyres 900x16 British, I would be forever grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hi Richard Where abouts was the barn in Oxfordshire. Our N.Oxon and Cotswolds MVT group has a chap in Oxfordshire with two of them and he has just restored one. Have you bought the other one off him?

Rick W Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 If his name happens to be Julian north of Oxford, and I dont suppose there is too many barns with 2 or 3 Morisses in then yes! He has the sand coloured one and a nice little jeep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
