Uncle Morris Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi All, This is my first time on HMVF so please be gentle. I am looking for any books available on Morris quads. It has been a ambition / dream to acquire one of these classic vehicles for many years and I would like to do some homework before looking in earnest. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Uncle Morris.

Rick W Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hello, Ive just acquired a 1944 Morris commercial (the later version of the quad), have just started taking it apart to start on the chassis, so I done some intensive research before buying. I couldnt find any books relating to them. There is a series just started in CMV magazine on the Morrises, and there was an article in Wheels and Tracks and there are numerous pics on websites. a good website for pics of the Morris is http://www.afrika-korps.de/forum :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Morris Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi, all, Many thanks for your replies. Yes I would love to get copies of any manuals etc... pleasecontacy me to arrange. Here is another question for you; can you drive a quad on a standard driving licence or would it need a n HGV licence? Also, Is there a website that would allow me to educate myself re: models and body types etc... of Morris commercial and quad artillery tractors? As usual any help much appreciated. Thanks, Liam.

Rick W Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 You should try doing a google search and try typing in various different versions of Morris. Type in Morris CS, Morris commercial etc see what you get. Have a look at Keith Brookers pages from MVT Essex Branch. By the way, does anyone know where or how I can get my dizzy sorted. Either getting it reconditioned or know what part numbers make up the rotor arm, condenser etc? Is there a modern day equivalent by Lucas or Intermotor? Also try a peek at this website http://www.afrika-korps.de/forum my German isnt that good, but there are some good pics of Morris on there in North Africa.
