MHillyard Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Spent the other day helping recover a Morris C8 for a friend. Took most of a day to clear the route of old wood and rubbish so we could tow it out. Amazingly the tyres pumped back up and with a few attempts she rolled out She looks pretty original apart from the Harvey Frost crane although pretty battered and fairly rotten. Does anyone know anything about the front wheels? I didnt get a close up picture but they are not the usual split rim but have a locking ring like the GMCs etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter75 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Great find. The wheels could be pre/early war type. Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johann morris Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Fantastic find, there seems to be quite a few Morris's coming out of the wood work recently. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Great Find; it looks to be a standard GS version, so I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on its restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johann morris Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I enquired about the seat frame being offered on the WAF forum and the gentleman seems to think that he has hit the jack pot as he wants 350eu for it. Silly boy!! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oats and barley Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 so it should have 3 piece rims all round not 2 piece split rims on rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly boy!! Jon That's too bad. Maybe just make a more resonable offer and wait if he comes to his senses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
