Following on from Kapri's advice a while back about getting all the info on old rods , can any one shed some light on my Morris 8, I bought it in 2002 from Alfie and Jo in Faversham when it had a 1500GT pre xflow fitted and steel wheels, History from dvla shows it was in Walthamstow from 1980 to 1998, and my recollection when i got it was that it may have been brown and cream at one stage, although the suspension was red under the black paint and dirt. I have the mots back to 1981 when it is shown as 1500cc. it was never a Show car so am not expecting photos, Reg no is JJO XXX
