fv1609 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm going to keep the Shorland, had it 32 years probably a few more years of vehicle ownership left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford spectator Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 It seems a Japanese collector has got a hold of a Morris CS8- anybody happen to know who owned it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runflat Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 GX3315 - One of Mr Grundy's rebuilds (Wheels & Tracks 22). Very nice indeed. I seem to recall that it went to America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Grundy Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It was restored by me in c.1986, sold to AF Budge Ltd who subsequently sold it to a museum in Virginia USA. I will dig out some pics, do we know who are the new owners in Japan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goanna Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The present Japanese owner posts on the Facebook Morris six cylinder CS8 PU page . The vehicle currently has leaky brake wheel cylinders, he is trying to repair things but I think he has limited mechanical knowledge . I steered him to Champ Spares ? who I think had some brake bits . Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Ashby Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Is that the one that originally came out of Mains Bob ?? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yes that's the one. I thought that I had bought a PU as it was in a hawthorn hedge and had a PU windscreen and there were six plug leads. Only realised what it was when it was back in the yard when I saw the diff and the holes for the aeroscreens......quite pleased at that. The cost in readies was £125 and took 1 year and 3 months to do, mind I had a bit more energy then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was I remember it well sat in the bush, during one of my regular parts hunting trips it was pulled up just short of the weigh bridge while I was looking round (like you I'd never been able to see it properly before), Raymond came out of the office and said "it's no good wishing boy it's been sold to a bloke up north he's picking it up next week" and then the legendary and oft repeated statement followed " just wants a battery and a drop a petrol and she'll be good to go" . I can remember looking at the remains of the civi hard cab hanging off it and still draped in most of the bush and thinking that even for Raymond that was a little optimistic. I didn't know who had bought it until I saw your Before and After slot in WT some years later. From a thorn bush and the oil soaked mud of the yard in Oxfordshire all the way to Japan via the USA 34 years later quite a journey it may be the most traveled CS8 in history....... pleased to see it's still being looked after.
