V8 Morris Minor Ute........ h34r:

I seem to recall from my distant past, in the days when I regularly attended race meetings during my decade of living in Unzud, that someone had shoehorned a Ferrari V12 engine into a Morris of some sort. They baptised it Morrari.

Background

That Corolla was originally built by the Hilliers Brothers in Tenterfield

They make custom built Hearse vehicles ...

Their stuff is ...well....******* awsome

Next time you look at a hearse with a Benz front and Falcodoore rear, it was prob built by Hilliers

Good luck buying a ute

You can make a MM 1000 go like a duck shot

You can punch the 948 out to 1046 with 998 +060 Cooper pistons.

Mine runs a MiniSport inlet with 1/34 SU...Waggot " Police spec Copper S " cam....has an extra 10* in the lobes h34r:

This bloke knows a bit about motors

I drive 90's model Patrols, Cruisers and Hilux's because the place I go sometimes warrants driving a shitbox, if I breakdown, I can most probably fix it, if I need parts I can get them. I have been caught in this situation before, out near Birdsville, try getting parts for a new or odd car out there.

If your only driving around the city of the Eastern Seaboard, well yeh, drive your fancy car.

Oh...and arn't they reliable....especially on holidays

You know what you would rather hear as it cruised past the pub......Just say'n

You're right. Nothing beats the fully sick rasping snort of a peripherally ported rotary whilst enjoying a relaxed beer. Brah.

I have imagined a Morrie converted to a tray top complete with a wooden tray and sides,stacks, mag wheels,a few kegs in the back and the " Odd Drop Brewery " painted on the side.
Then parking outside a pub here just to get a few tongues wagging.
Yes I do like to stir the pot at times .

mmmmm....yyeeaaahhh....Tray Tops are not really classed amongst the real folk...I have yet to see a decent one.

 

[spog]

Not once in my life have I ever been classed as one of the real folk.
Is the Morrie ute 2 separate pieces,is the ute body separate from the cab ?, as some utes/tray tops are where you can swap the ute body over to a tray top ?

Thursday night footy sucks, weekend ruined by my team losing before the weekend has even started.

Never ever seen a Morris Minor pickup or ute in the U.K. Only ever seen the saloon the van or traveller ( the one with wood around the rear ) . The later ones came with the 1098cc A series engine same as used in the Austin A40 from about 1964 approx. My first car in Yorkshire was a maroon A40 brilliant reliable car apart from tendency to break halfshafts . Same rear axle in Morris 1000 I think.
