    At least with the "posh" versions of the 1100/1300 the fake grille was made to fit the car! Sort of.

    If that's the Morris 1300, I had one of them in Cyprus in 1986. £300(Cyp) at purchase, £250 at sale 6 months later. Suspension like a waterbed.

    WTF the engineers who designed it thought they were up to, Christ alone knows . . . .

    still, better than walking from Dhekelia to the DZ.

    I remember the 5 Boys bar Stonker. Consumed a few before they were phased out.

    I'm a semi-old git. I'm late fifties.
